[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 6765731, member: 71668"] yes, but we also leave all our straw, we don’t bale it or remove it. One of the main priorities for any zero till planter here is maximum trash flow - something I don’t see on any UK / Euro tyne DD “drills” I haven’t seen a single supposed “DD” tyne drill or cultivator that would operate in our high trash conditions, on TFF, so I think our gear is actually better suited to high trash flows granted, our summer planting conditions can be hot & dry & conducive to brittle straw, but our autumn / winter plantings can quite often be done in damp conditions, short days & heavy dews . . . That’s why Arrick’s developed the row cleaner attachment for the JD single disc planters, for example . . . That’s why local manufacturers developed open spoked gauge wheels ( years before Mudsmith & JD ) and much improved mud scraper systems such as the steel scraper rings on gauge wheels, which are real game changers our cropping regions cover a very diverse climate & geography - think Scotland to Spain. It’s not just one homogenised “one size fits all” yes, we struggle with hair pinning at times, but I still maintain that a lot of that can be overcome with operator experience, correct planter set up, stubble management / cultural practices & planter maintenance [/QUOTE]
