When I was a. kid (1960's) Dad had an Oliver Superior grain drill. It was probably about ten foot wide. When he would drill wheat or soybeans he would go round and round the field working toward the center. Now we didn't have any round fields, but some were square or rectangles. When he got done he'd drill an X from corner to corner to get the spots he'd missed on the turns.
I never asked him, but I suppose he did it that way to keep from using the rope trip all the time as you'd need to do if you had headlands. Did anyone else drill like that, or do you still do it that way ?
