What's the tie-up with Covenbrook Fabrications?
Big ad in Farmer's Guide this week. Have they taken over manufacture and marketing?

Covenbrook will bring the quality up a lot. They are a really good old school engineering company (they used to make the Simtech drills). This is a step forward for Triton.
my triton drills oil seed rape through to spring beans wet or dry, not as level on ploughing as power harrow drill, always had good results, do not plant plant to deep. drills on ploughing through to direct drilling
You'll have to wait for him to logon to take part in one of the many different conversations he writes about.

Just read an article in the farmers favourite rentaquote publication about aminoa and the subsequent need for only tuppence hapenny on real fungicides and thought I'd not heard much on the Drill Of Champions lately.....

Another gem to add to the gift that keeps on giving-
"In many instances a Triton has paid for itself by drilling just one field of late wheat, in just one year.."

Nah, "the unique penetration of the Triton tine guarentees 100% establishment in boulder dry and hard conditions, the design of the side press combined with 5ltrs/ha of Aminoa every week* sucks up enough water to give 10t/ha crops of Blackgrsss free Spring Wheat drilled in May"
*applied in 10,000ltr/ha of water.

Lack of dedicated in-furrow aminoa applicator is a missed opportunity.
