Do any of you chaps have many stones and does it bring them to the surface? With the ground being firm after drilling they can't easily be rolled back in? I should add I do pick stones when neccessary.
What are stones?

After the first autumn drilling season with the tine drill, we see quite a few flints brought up, smaller ones rolled, big ones hand carried to hedge bottom. I would hope after a couple of years we will have eliminated most of the big ones.Do any of you chaps have many stones and does it bring them to the surface?

I have a lot of stone here, the weaving pulled a few big 1s up but nothing compared to the claydon did with its leading tine, I’m hoping the big 1s will be picked off in the first few years and the small 1s will be tapped back in with the rollersDo any of you chaps have many stones and does it bring them to the surface?

APJ have you still got your combi drill and have you had to use it all since you bought the sabretine?
I’m contemplating buying a sabretine how many acres are people getting out of the legs ? At 52£ a leg they are quite expensive to change .
What about covering harrows? In the space of 8/10ac I experienced some very excessive wear on the rear row, can’t come up with an explanation for it at the momentOur sabre as just passed the 1000ac mark and there’s no wear on the leg at all, think it will take some wearing out to be honest. It’s very cheap to run that’s for sure compared to a combi.

Yes that’s how I had try to run them, set in the middle hole as advised by Weaving. Just odd how the wear happened quite quickly, makes me wonder if something had changed but can’t work it out. They aren’t cheap to replace at £17 each, anyone know if they’re available as non genuine from Pan Anglia/ Spaldings etc?All still ok, probably do autumn sowing amd need changing, a lot to do with how you run them keep them in an upright position and the tine flat to the ground they will last longer.
No not with Weavings these are my own design . We find that having to run the tines deeper than we would like some seed does end up in the bottom but we’re hoping with these tubes the tine can be run shallower and it won’t be a problem .@Bob lincs are you working with Weaving on these seed tubes or is it your own design? It looks like your seed tube will encourage seed further down in to the seed slot which I find is the downside to the current design
