Hi @cquick Great work on those home build projects, I think 3D printers can be a game changer for farmers moving forwards. Have you looked at Precision Planting components at all? https://www.precisionplanting.com/products As the UK dealer for Precision Planting we can offer some awesome...

Hi all Following on from my post in June I thought I would give you an update on this new larger 8m & 9m DSX platform because the wait is nearly over! We will have several of these DSX running on farms across the world this spring of which 2 will be in the UK (1x in West England and 1x in...

Hi all, this is correct. The team at Horizon are currently finalising the project to launch an exciting new 8m and 9m platform. This DSX will be EU road legal, have 3 sections (1 belly section and 2 wings) and be available on the same 16.7cm, 18.7cm, 20cm and 25cm row spacings that we currently...

Well done guys, I've tried to donate several times but the payment process keeps crashing, hopefully its because so many people are trying to donate, I'll try again later

Here at Claydon we now have a Low Disturbance Kit as an option for our Hybrid drills which is designed to give farmers flexibility and stop the need for having to invest in a separate 'low disturbance' drill because most want to keep their standard set up with the front tine to be able to...

The base price for a 3m Claydon Hybrid is £35,995

Absolutely no question that a straw harrow will help to reduce slug numbers on osr stubbles.

Morning All, I thought I would let you know about some new versatility we are now offering for both Claydon Hybrid trailed and mounted drills. Our new LD offering gives our farmers the ability to easily interchange between the standard Claydon seeding set up and our new Low Disturbance set up...

@JD6920s looking good, were you able to measure yield? Any difference?

Hi all, not one mention of a straw harrow?? Not sure if they're now deemed as 'un-cool' on here but in my mind they are an essential tool for keeping the slug population down in osr stubbles. It is also a very good tool at encouraging a weed chit with that lovely, friable osr top soil and long...

If you're looking to move more soil than a straw harrow but less soil than a shallow disc...... The Claydon Terrastar is a cracking tool.

Hi @CJS this depends on which model of Sulky you have and whether you have the speed increasing kit. I'm guessing if its a 3m SR Drill then you have the newer Sulky with the RDS Ultron control box and the speed increasing kit. When you start the Ultron its will go to 35, you need to reduce...

@JCfarmer as @Brisel said there are 2 different ways that people can drill OSR and other small seeds with a Claydon. The 7 Inch A Share and Splitter Boot is best for heavy land because it will ensure the seed is kept on the bank and you wont loose any seed too deep (Probably 70% of our...

Claydon were up and running yesterday with a customer in Norfolk drilling OSR into grass as an experiment to see if such early establishment will help get the crop away from flea beetle. The idea is that they will graze it with sheep it it gets too established.... I'll keep you posted!

If its flat and light then you will be OK with 140hp but you will certainly know its on the back and will need to have a good weight block on the front.
