Can’t be difficult to make some yourselfvarious people have tried to buy the blades but have failed. Apparently no one else understands the technologies involved to mount them correctly! B*****ks!

It came up earlier in this thread and is stated on the website; if you copy the design yourself and grow a crop with it, it is illegal to sell that crop or use it for any commercial purpose....Can’t be difficult to make some yourself

why you did not get a demo is the way you called the drill in the last 2 years , it is a great heavy land drill and in the wet, it may not be your way of thinking, but it gets crops in the ground and up in all conditions , as long as the tractor pulls it, right tractor for conditions is the key, that's why a lot are using tracks, never had a problem with my tractor and drill they match, even after 63 mm of rain two days later drilling.No matter how impressive a demo might be, (should one be favourable for long enough to obtain one!) the attitude and approach of senior Triton management would lead me to have no confidence whatsoever in back up being available, should one encounter problems or require wear parts after purchasing a Triton drill.
The MD certainly has his fingers in many pies - he could drop the wonder drill just as fast as he picked it up.
Lots of choice on the drill market.
Why not prove him wrong then?why you did not get a demo is the way you called the drill in the last 2 years , it is a great heavy land drill and in the wet, it may not be your way of thinking, but it gets crops in the ground and up in all conditions , as long as the tractor pulls it, right tractor for conditions is the key, that's why a lot are using tracks, never had a problem with my tractor and drill they match, even after 63 mm of rain two days later drilling.
av: 10 tons ha some time's 13. not this year lost it on the floor. just as it was ready 3 weeks bad weather then wind only av 5 tons ha, last field 3 ha =8 tons when cut it was a green all over with germinated wheat. oats had to be cut 125 mm high so not to put all the green through the combine. the year to remember wet, drought , very wet. in my part of Yorkshire all round hear 2 tons was the av. spring barley only 1.5 tons ,half the heads on floor. 1 st year made a loss, so far looking good for next year fingers crossed ( accord)You must be drilling something special to be paying 40% tax on 400ac of arable land, especially pre Triton! What did it replace?
This where you need to be very careful as you have obviously got inside knowledge on this one or think you have and are possibly speaks out of turn against the party line. At no time did they refuse to give Andrew (spud) a demo due to his previous comments they said his land and conditions weren’t suitable and he needed a crawler and really there wasn’t a machine available. So which one is it??why you did not get a demo is the way you called the drill in the last 2 years , it is a great heavy land drill and in the wet, it may not be your way of thinking, but it gets crops in the ground and up in all conditions , as long as the tractor pulls it, right tractor for conditions is the key, that's why a lot are using tracks, never had a problem with my tractor and drill they match, even after 63 mm of rain two days later drilling.
I HAVE NO SAY AS ONLY OWNER OF A DRILL, AND NOTHING TO DO WITH TRITON, SENTRY FARMING USE THE DRILL'S AND LIKE THEMWhy not prove him wrong then?
IT is only my opinion not triton's would you give a demo after the way he's called it from the start ( must have something that can travel on the land first to pull it) a tractor that can just lift the drill will pull it on light land,This where you need to be very careful as you have obviously got inside knowledge on this one or think you have and are possibly speaks out of turn against the party line.

Remind me what tractor you use for your heavy land?IT is only my opinion not triton's would you give a demo after the way he's called it from the start ( must have something that can travel on the land first to pull it) a tractor that can just lift the drill will pull it on light land,

only a farmer not a sale's man, he made for his land , then marketed because it was goodThis is the problem isn't it. The concept seems reasonable but the folks selling it seem completely lacking in sales skills. Or social skills. Excellent comedy skills though.
50 hp per meterRemind me what tractor you use for your heavy land?
6 per meterhow many drilling tines does a 4.8 metre drill have ?
sand to heavy clay,peat, limestone, silt, one 16 ha field has all,Clearly, your land is not heavy then.
I was offered a demo (I didn't ask for one) but after lots of confusion re transport from Cambridge (somehow team Triton didn't realise that I lived in Yorkshire!) I had a conversation with the Yorkshire Triton dealer, and we agreed that I would be in touch when conditions were favourable.
I know my land. I don't care how big a tractor one puts on a 3m drill, clart is clart, and when it's wet, stay off it, or pay the price.
Mr Chaplin (Triton MD), for reasons known only to him (though for 'only a customer' you seem to know an awful lot about conversations I've had with Triton) has chosen to block me on social media. If that is a measure of his willingness to communicate, and how he might behave should I have problems after the purchase of a Triton drill, then I will choose not to do business with him.
By making that decision, I obviously will not waste anybody's time fetching me a demo machine for no sale.
I speak as I find, and people deal with people.
