[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 581808, member: 305"] with 46 coulters 4 tonne seed plus the hopper and drill when empty less than 100 kg per coulter when the wheels are off the ground some of that weight is on the tractor when drilling beans at 8m wide in 2013 with less than a tonne in the hopper depth was difficult to achieve and the tractor was too light on the back for good traction when the hopper was full 5 tonne or more of beans there was just enough weight water in the wheels is an option but when not needed difficult to remove wafer weight just in front of the drill wheels will be looked at for next spring with a 4m box moore drill empty weight is not enough driving slower is the only option to maintain depth it is now very dry and hard so unless it rains drilling will be slower to maintain depth and close the slot there are still plenty of slugs out at night a closed slot is essential as a small amount of rain will lead to uncontrollable levels of damage [/QUOTE]
