Thanks for the reply Simonk88.
So is tined weeding now a regular method of weed control on your farm? I guess its more successful in spring cereals?
What machine are you using?
Are there any improvements that you would make?
Morning All
Radar, are you still using mechanical weeding? if so what and how?
Does anyone else have any other comments?
I'm thinking of trying it in spring crops and possibly undersowing in the same pass with a seed mix for grazing sheep post harvest

in this part of lincolnshire everybody has waited for the BG and now not many have drilled much, now that the BG...
how do you find the performance of the ultra lite tine? In my experience, I would have thought the big advantage is that subsoiler and tractor will turn quicker at the headland if it's mounted and surely weight transfer will be improved
Thanks for the reply: what are the low disturbance legs that you're using? I have TWB leg bottoms on our machine, I'm thinking i'll cut the wings off to reduce lift as the plan is to use it for seeding osr?
