Not sure that everyone is aware of this.
Also drill sales guys never seem to talk to the farmer about the different options available and the pros and cons of each system. They just tick the default Dutch option.

Yep all options are good o just went with Dutch as they had the best range 10 years ago. Although I sold the drill last year
I agree. Dutch were out the blocks quicker than Bourgault in the UK. Out of interest, what are you running now?

Don’t underestimate the new Sabre Tine for direct drilling. I’ve used mine for three years, and it’s an amazing bit of kit. Robust, will drill into some pretty harsh conditions, and brilliantly reliable.
The people in the business are great to deal with too.
I’d like to buy a new one, but the prices of all of this kit is getting quite steamy, so I’m going to stick with what I’ve got until I can see a decent deal.

Not a direct answer but could you get a couple of doses of molasses applied to help aid straw breakdown?
this is exactly the question im thinking about as well.
got a contractor in to drill some beans last autumn with a sabretine. baled straw then LD subsoiler. Drill travelled about 20 yards and left 20yrds of raked up stubble in one heap. Repeat for 100 acres.
Horsch CO will not block but no new ones about.

I'm tempted to run strips of thin flat steel between the tines, similar to what they had on an old fashioned bale sledge, to stop straw climbing the times.
That's probably worth a go! Like an old perry sledge?

Yeah, with a chain at the trailing end do it can follow the contours of the land.

Sprinter will do it. Just. Probably had 3 bungs in 50ac on winter barley straw. Usually where it was laid.
Unless it can break the straw down in less than 7 days, that’s not going to aid the drill. I do understand the principles of feeding the soil life to aid the breakdown over the following weeks and months though.
I’ve ha
enquries been made about that
If you have any pictures could you put them on here thanks
