We are here too. It is terminating the green covers 6 weeks before drilling or by the end of feb is my problem. 6 weeks is just not long enough on heavy land at that time of year.

I have done exactly the same, with exactly the same result. Hopefully I will learn my lesson this time.....

The sprayer is currently doing the shows on the Horsch stand. Will be here in August hopefully

Just bought a Valtra 235 to pull a trailed sprayer. It and the Deere had the best ground clearance. Coupled with the vario and isobus it should be a good match. If not I will need to think again!! JCB was great on the road but just too expensive and have heard horror stories regarding reliability.

I do have 12 of the below for sale. The discs can be run either way, the current way provides more tilth, running them backwards provides more of a cut slit effect. They fix onto 80x80 box. Thanks

Beever sales near Retford I have imported stuff from the states from Yetter before. I imagine transport will kill it as an idea

We are going today based on similar thoughts of a wet Sunday. Ideally it would wait a few days

I have been running a couple of these this year. They don’t plug the seed tube like the metcalfes, but they are wider and a lot longer in the shank. Spoke to btt about this who thought I may have been sent the north American version which is designed to hunt for moisture. I also have tried...

@TWF what openers are you using on the seed hawk? I run one with Metcalfes and am looking at the difference options. I wasn’t a fan of the originals with the stainless sleeve clamping the rubber tube to the leg. I believe seed hawk now do an all steel leg and tube but have not seen it in the...

I have a tine drill and rake after drilling in the spring. I find it helps massively in terms of preventing the slot opening. An extra pass but vital on heavier ground.

Front linkage required for a 2009 John Deere 8430 with ILS. Thanks

I am/was…. Not decided on groundswell yet, haven’t checked the dates. Will let you know

@Samcowman I have one for sale. It has a high flow valve and was the used with a mob of 140 cattle last summer. Just attach a quad to the front, or pull by hand if you are feeling fit.

BB, Which drill if you don’t mind me asking? I keep trying disc drills with very limited success on strong land. Currently using a tine drill which is a little crude but does a job

Just been through this. We are flat and felt 175hp would be adequate, but went for 230hp as it would act as a back up to my ageing drilling tractor. I prefer the longer wheelbase of the larger tractor for transport.
