No-Till Drill Announcements

Our no-till drill rentals are closed for the rainy season. Please check back in the spring for future no-till drill rentals.

606NT No-Till Drill - closed for the rainy season

Clark Conservation District has a no-till drill available to loan to Clark County residents. The drill has available small seed, native seed, and standard seed boxes to accommodate a variety of seed sizes. The drill has a 6 ft. working width and requires a minimum 40 HP tractor with rear hydraulics to operate. The drill has a 8 ft. 10 in. transport width and weighs around 3100 lbs.  

The drill is available to check out in one week increments from Thursday to Thursday in spring through fall for ideal seeding conditions and preventing soil compaction.  

You can reserve the drill up to three months in advance.

Calendar and Form

Payment

We accept payment by credit card only. If you do not have a credit card, please contact working lands staff for alternative arrangements. Once your rental time and date are confirmed by staff, you have 7 days (or 48 hours before your rental start time, whichever is sooner) to pay your invoice. This reserves your rental period. The invoice will be emailed to you along with a confirmation. If you cancel by 3:00 pm on the Monday before your rental, we will refund your payment and deposit.  Cancellations after that point will only be refunded if we are able to fill the rental spot.  
 
We’ve had to reevaluate what we charge to ensure the sustainability of the program. If you feel you are not able to afford the new rate, please contact us. We don’t want this rate to prevent someone from renting the equipment. You can also connect with others in our community to share a rental. Please note that if you choose this option, the renter is still liable for damages, cleaning, and pick up and returning of the equipment.  

We are also testing a “pay what you can” option. If you are unable to pay the full rental please let us know what you can afford in the comments box on the rental request form. If you would like to pay more to cover a portion of someone else’s rental, indicate that on the rental request form. The actual cost of managing the equipment is roughly $235 per rental. We may increase our rates at a later date to reflect that cost.
