Simba freeflow - Simtech conversion

Following on from other drill pimping threads I thought I would add my own.

We've converted a 4m freeflow to run on Simtech tines based on 6 tines/metre rather than the freeflow's 8. Cost of conversion including the drill, tines, engineers time and a fair amount of refurbishment work was circa 6.5k so pretty reasonable.

The picture was taken whilst drilling a cover crop into a thick crop of chopped oat straw which the drill coped with really well. View attachment 382914
Have you got any more photos of crop establishment using this set up? are you still using the drill in this format? would you class it as a success?
