Yes, I went no till this year after watching Dr. Grant's video series on his farm in the Ozarks. I expect it will be a little tough the first few years and still used glyphosphate this past summer but hope to get to no spray/no fertilize within 3-4 years. I ended up trading my Woods tiller and EA disc so the SAYA was almost "free". I planted about 3.5 acres in fall food plots and everything came up pretty nicely. I had read that the SAYAs sometimes come poorly assembled so I asked my salesman to make sure it was ready to plant. Luckily for me he's a "real" farmer and he and the shop manager went completely over it and it was just a matter of filling with seeds and planting. He even drilled some left over soybeans for me at my place to show it was working.
Grapple is almost a must. I needed one "NOW" after the tornado went through in June so I bought what my dealer had in stock, which was a Tar River (Chinese) model. It works OK but I wish the bottom tines were a bit longer. No doubt it saved me countless hours of work over cutting and hauling branches and definitely paid for itself already.
For our needs I couldn't be happier with the R14s but I plow with a Boss hydraulic 6' plow on the Ranger so the MX is almost never in snow unless I have a deer in the bucket.
BTW, I went to the barn yesterday and put the grapple back on as I'm getting ready to cut down a dead 30' Scotch Pine. I checked and I did the 50 hour service right at 50 hours in September and now have 59.6 hours on the machine. It will almost certainly outlive me lol.
