clive just seen your video of you drilling you are moving as much soil as a triton ,may be more when triton has low disturbance blades on in wet stubble,( don,t call when you are making same job) finished winter beans today going to up grade my triton to a rockhopper model with more tine spaceing to work in cover crops should get more than i payed for it as demand in very high
triton texted me back,(if he wants to test his drill rig out we will leave him section of our heaviest gray clay in a 5o ha block,2 year black grass fallow option area near wellingborough. he should come on 15th feb when we will be drilling it. the land lies wet with impeded drainage and has been unmoved for 2 years) this is perfect for a triton,keep the tractor on top and triton drills, demo drill sold, cannot sell my drill, have to keep it 5 year, so having to up rated to 2020 spek,putting on rear harrow and forward and rear cranked legs,to direct drill into chopped cover crops
I’ve already spoken to him and am hopefully going to have it next. I have 100ha of wheat into stubble I would like to get in so may as well give it a go. I think the design and idea is a good one but some of the yield figures etc are far fetched. Will be a better test on my clay soils than at Clive’s to be honest.Triton just tweeted that they have a 6m on a big new Holland tractor with shift drivers available to anyone who needs help

I don't think that many people are actually negative about the concept, its just the marketing, attitude to potential customers and ridiculous statements and figures that are being ridiculed.I'm waiting for all you nay sayers to eat humble pie
I’m not spending that!£25,000 worth of contracting??!
No problem, you can do the night shift if you want!I wouldn’t mind coming and having a look if you do get it to come and do some of yours.
Yes I think you are probably rightI don't think that many people are actually negative about the concept, its just the marketing, attitude to potential customers and ridiculous statements and figures that are being ridiculed.

more the merrier,triton will be pleased to see you all. look we are not paying £1,000 marketing per drill like a lot of drills. I hit 11.5tons ha on some silt over running sand. under ground irrigation, very wet this year got a lot of slug grazing this year on olimpus winter wheat thought the variety was to good to be true with excellent disease resistance all have there draw backs slugs love it , it had high inputsI’ve already spoken to him and am hopefully going to have it next.
