I am thinking of heading down the tine direct drill route. Currently running a Lemkin power harrow drill combo and it is a fantastic bit of kit, but looking to be able to at least direct drill rape and cover crops and maybe cereals too. Our land is a free draining loam that is very forgiving to work. We take the straw off the fields too.
Currently like the look of the Weaving Sabre Tine, probably the 4.8m, but of course there are others - Horsch, Dale, etc..
We have two Case Puma tractors, 160 and 165, plenty of lift and grunt for their size but we do have slopes.
Any opinions/advice appreciated.
We have been long term users of combi drills mostly in a min till cultivation strategy, but have just taken the plunge into the world of direct drilling with the delivery of a new weaving sabre tine 6m for this season, nothing comes close in terms of affordability and build quality in my opinion, we have done a small amount with it and very impressed, I’d say for your tractor size stick with around a 4m model the 6m is a big lump, just deal direct with weaving great family firm.
