How wide is that?

8 metres

Almost endless range of short discs about, we looked at several including farmet, vaderstadt, weaving, Teagle and proforge but settled on lemken in the end. Does a good job, easy to adjust, there’s no end of options for packers/rollers and dealer is near and handy for us

That's the answer I was hoping for. Do you know if it is a genuine 8m and not a few inches short like some of the others? Looking for something to work in 8m controlled traffic

Have a look here (if the link works)- 8m working width, with a choice of sprung arms or coil springs.

Another vote for the invertamax.View attachment 856604

Sorry to jump in, how do you find the invertamax at shallow depths? I just think looking at the dished disks they may not work very well shallow?

I think that’s the big difference, there are only a few makes that do the shallow notched disc rather than the big scalloped disc which in my opinion is the main requirement for working the full width of the machine at less then 2 inch depth.

Philip Watkins would make a true 8m machine also Horsch should have a true 8m joker. Personally for my 8m controlled traffic I have gone for a 925 carrier.

Pm me the price and some pics if you do please?

Warp Land Farmer · Feb 23, 2020

Does anyone run the Weaving short disc? They rarely seem to get a mention above the Proforge brand but look very similar money. Are they not as good?

marshallfarm · Feb 28, 2020

Sumo mixidisc? We swapped from a carrier to one.

We have one. Demoed a Joker, Carrier and Weaving before buying. Horsch didn't perform as well. Liked the Carrier but not the price. Didn't produce a £25,000 better seedbed and bought the Weaving. Never tried a Proforge to compare.

You could probably buy an old Simba solo for not a lot of money, replace the discs and check the bearings, lift the legs up a bit and it would do a similar job, no?

No. Just no. Any big discs are different.

How shallow can you work the Weaving?
