I've gone direct and into cultivated with my Simtech, a very simple drill, which looks to have worked well in a difficult autumn.Weaving sabre tine,
KrM Sola Drill SM-P
there the ones I’m aware of That will go in direct but also on previously stirred ground. What other options are out there that are similar in layout etc?
thanks
I’m afraid self build is well above my pay grade although if I could find the right person to do it for me I could be temptedLook up JJ Metcalfe tines. They will fit on a range of frames.
I don't think they actually make drills but are very helpful if you want to do a self build.
If you don't do anything in a hurry, you might find a suitable cultivator to bolt the legs onto. 80mm or.100mm box is what they fit.I’m afraid self build is well above my pay grade although if I could find the right person to do it for me I could be tempted
I’m in no rush and waiting to see what (if any) grant options come out on new machines but also keeping an open mind. I can see with how SFI and everything else is been targeted and developed that we need a drill that’s much more versatile than our current combi unit and want to explore the options available in the 6m size That can be pulled with a moderate sized tractor In direct, and cultivated ground. Only interested in tine type drills as I’m not a fan of disc drills on our ground In any situation.If you don't do anything in a hurry, you might find a suitable cultivator to bolt the legs onto. 80mm or.100mm box is what they fit.
100hp to pull 4 metres here with not too much trouble.I think you will need a pretty big tractor to pull
6m drill direct, especially if you are thinking a monted one. I have made coltivator frams in the past it normally work's out cheaper to preaches one but then it's allways a compromise between what you have and what you won't
KRM have said my 165hp tractor on big tyres 650/42s should be fine.I think you will need a pretty big tractor to pull

Horsch sprinterJust realised Dale do a mounted tine drill as well
so that’s KRM, Weaving, Dale.
any others?
Edit- triton is out as looking at there website I’m committed to putting the 240hp tractor on its knees trying to pull one1
Define “any amount of trash”not sure any of these will direct drill into any amount of trash??
Does a Claydon or Sprinter drill into loose trash?
Be a lot more money though I expect even for a 4m version?Horsch sprinter
Yes, I was surprised. They had a glossary in the FW and I couldn’t see a 3m versionBe a lot more money though I expect even for a 4m version?
Simtech is what you want for that, or a disc drill. We were very impressed with how little disturbance there was from the simtech T slot tine going into grassland (though barely any of the kale grew, it was our own fault for not spraying the grass off beforehand, and not putting any fertiliser. But it was an experiment..). I'd imagine a weaving would stir up grassland quite a bit, and a claydon/mzuri type job definitely would.Would a Weaving or KRM overseed temporary pasture with legume mixes or would they drag too much
