    New Build Tine based Rear End for Front Tank Drill

    I’m sure a member on here had modified the Metcalfe seed tubes and claimed they were almost unblockable, but I couldn’t work out what the mod was from the description and I don’t think there were photos or a drawing. Help please, I can block them for fun. My saving grace is the home made air...

    Opico 580 LPG Dryer

    Grain Storage Bins vs Storage Sheds

    Moore unidrill help

    I used a length of plastic rainwater gutter for a calibration tray on a Unidrill like that. Absolutely hopeless to calibrate that type of drill, never got any consistency of rate, over and under sowing all the time. I gave up an fitted an Accord air seeder hopper which is perfect every time.
