I'm a huge fan of no-till, to many benefits to mention in one paragraph, such a fertilizer conservation, moisture retention, soil erosion prevention, fuel savings, huge time savings, more continuous food available for wildlife. When you till you are actually planting weed seed.
Anyway, about your question, I never used one, but they seem a little light for heavy use, no-till is all about weight, the heavier duty the planter, the more it's worth. JohnDeeres smallest no-till is the 10' 1590, weighs 6400 lbs, if that tells us anything. I have Great Plains, which makes a heavy model in 6' that will plant through sod and fodder with no problem. Also Esch makes one. The lighter planters will struggle in heavy conditions. Mostly the decision is how much steel can you afford, and how much can you pull? Either way, if you are new to no-till good luck with the venture.
