Back in the day we had an old Smyth Drill kept at the back of the Barn in the dry, we only ever used it to sow Kale, a week prior to use my farther asked me to cover the spoked wheels with wet sacks, and keep them wet to tighten the wheels up, as a Boy it always fascinated me how the sowing mechanism worked and dropped the seed down the coulters. Great video as always, thank you for posting.
What a wonderful video I really enjoyed that, I take it the drill was converted in the past from horse drawn to tractor drawn the drawbar looks distinctly blacksmith made
