Not everybody does!We don’t sell poorly sprung disc coulters . Our Suffolk’s has 20kg downforce, our twin disc has 50kg down force our best seller has 100kg down force
Used if you can find one are about 12-20k new start at just over 30kHow much?
I’m sure nice machines but a lot of money for 200acres. How much would you expect someone to get out of a 3m per year with say 175HP on?Used if you can find one are about 12-20k new start at just over 30k
Tine drill, like a KV TS, you can pick one up in budget, they will drill into anything, very simple, accord metering and high output.I was thinking of asking the same question.
200acres; 130/140hp available (no front linkage); £8k budget; ww, barley and beans.
18m tramlines
We currently plough, work down then drill with 6m vicon lz. My thinking was to spend less time on the whole job (200 acres unfortunately isnt a great payer) so move away from the plough. Maybe a tine drill - simple, quick, low maintenance
Been looking for one. A few more KRMs about, some have the cultivation bar in front.Tine drill, like a KV TS, you can pick one up in budget, they will drill into anything, very simple, accord metering and high output.
What age of 175hp?I’m sure nice machines but a lot of money for 200acres. How much would you expect someone to get out of a 3m per year with say 175HP on?
Why do you do a step towards a jd750a is it cost or do you need to do a natural progression towards dd for the land to adapt. Does it make any difference that this land was all in long term ley.sell everything and buy a used 3m claydon SR or horsch Co3
then in 5 years sell and buy a used 3m 750a
thank me later ! (your fuel and parts suppliers won’t ! )
Are 500s much better than 30s?Well we drill about 150 acres/year with a MF500 and get on well with it. We are on heavy clay. Last autumn we were able to drill, where our neighbours with cultivator drills weren't. We do use the power harrow if needed, but it's nice not to have to as with a combi drill. If I had £8k to spend on a drill I'd find the best 4m MF500 that I could, replace all the discs, bearings and coulter pivots, convert it to seed only - then put the rest of the money in the bank.
If you did want to have the option of a single pass, then perhaps a power harrow with the drill on a bridge link?

(That's where I've gone!)

Looked up them Drills and horsch can be got within budget and don't seem Power hungry. But can it do a satisfactory job on heavy clay. And what sort of pre drilling cultivating would need to be done. A lot of the videos I have watched all seem to have been cultivated beforehand.
