Story so far
2nd season with the sumo DTS over 400h and so far so good. Soils are variable but hard on wearing parts and stones are a prominent feature from fist size to football plus . I have to budget on 2 sets of front legs per season.
Rotation is
Wheat beans wheat winter barley osr wheat naked oats . Straw from cereals and rape is baled and swapped for fym and applied on a 3 yr rotation .
No bg but bromes are a problem I seem to have inherited (only my 2nd year as manager ) but I’m hoping the beans and osr give me a decent chance to reduce the brome problem . This land does respond well to hybrid winter barley and historically has often produced the highest margin and early osr entry so don’t want to drop it.
Current tackle is carrier drill rolls
I’m not looking to replace the dts but add a drill with less disturbance, bean stubbles this year we’re crying out for a dd solution.
Now bearing in mind the uncertainty looming and the fact I have a finance manager and very strict budgets to adhere to new drills are off the menu .
Any thoughts ?
I would love for the dts to have a removable drilling element so I could swap to the dd toolbar when required?
