As regards to other no till countries, places like Australia often drill into flood irrigated fields so i think they do have similar problems?
But I do think a tine drill is beneficial and where you are will I would rather have a dale than a jd 750. Although cover crops can be an issue to drill into. So you need livestock to eat the cover crop and then drill and you get the best of both worlds. And extra income for over winter grazing
I have come to similar conclusion so do have tine and disc drills now - expecting perfection from one machine in every situation is asking a lot IMO and x2 used drills cost less than 1 new one
