Looking at 2nd hand min till drill are free flows any good. Medium soils with stones.How much power for a 4m? They seem a lot of drill for the money.

Have a look through the archive's on the profi website, they did a good article about them years ago with all the upgrade through the years.

Stones are no bother it's the way they ride on the ground that makes them a bit of a pickle in a wet spot but in a dry year you can fly.
Various upgrades over the years, the upgraded rear tyre packer was a bit of an improvement as cleaned itself a bit better in sticky going. Can't remember exactly but I don't think they wanted too much road work particularly behind a muppet in a modern tractor at 50kph.
If you have come from PH/combi land you will be flying along and have much less fuel and wearing parts to worry about.

Have been doing mintill on some ground. And drilling with Combi which struggled to get Suffolk Coulter’s in even depth .And the ware rate on tines And Coulter tips was v high.

In my opinion it's the best drill in good conditions, best for even seed depth and will break clods to a fine seedbed with enough forward speed. Wearing parts work out at pence per acre compared with a Vaderstad, there is a downside as in they won't work as well in wetter conditions as a vaderstad and they are slightly harder to pull.
Transporting on the road should be no problem as long as you don't go too fast or long distances, saying that I do run about 9 miles from the farm with no problems yet !
Stones aren't really a problem but you can break tines if you're not respectful or drilling deep.
I've used a 3m then a 4m for about 15 years now and wouldn't be without one, it's a very well built drill as was most of the earlier simba tackle and I'm sure it will be running for many more years to come.
