When it comes to direct drilling and overseeding, few machines have earned the reputation of the Moore Unidrill. Recently, the popular Grassmen channel featured Barry Read a respected voice in the farming community sharing his honest thoughts on the Unidrill. Known for “telling it like it is,” Barry didn’t hold back on why this drill is one of his favourite machines.
Barry has been running the Moore Unidrill for years, and his verdict is clear:
“One of the best-designed machines in my yard.”
That’s high praise from someone who has seen it all. The Unidrill’s robust build and versatility make it a go-to choice for farmers who need reliability and precision.
When asked what makes the Moore Unidrill stand out, Barry’s answer was simple:
“Seed placement.”
Accurate seed placement is critical for crop establishment, and the Unidrill delivers every time. Whether you’re drilling stubble turnips at 3kg per acre, grass seed, or even barley at 75kg per acre, the Unidrill handles it all with ease.
Barry also highlighted the Guttler roller on the back of the Unidrill:
“I love the Guttler roller on the back. It gives it a dimpled effect and in our high rainfall area, the soil isn’t completely compressed. It’s pressed in points so water can still soak in without capping the top.”
This feature ensures better soil structure and water infiltration, key for healthy crop growth.
When comparing to other drills, Barry was clear:
“No, I wouldn’t go for an Einbock. I’d love the extra width, but an Einbock can’t do everything. We do a lot of drilling for people where we don’t plough or prepare it. We just drill for people because you get a really good even strike. No need to go in and roll, no need to go in and harrow after. Close the gate after me and that’s it.”
The Moore Unidrill’s ability to work in minimal tillage conditions saves time, fuel, and labour making it a smart investment for contractors and farmers alike.
Barry admits the Unidrill is:
“A heavy wee brute of a drill, but my John Deere 7920 handles it perfectly. They would be the two of my favourite machines in the yard to be honest”
