It’s certainly too wet for the John Deere but at the same time it’s not too wet to drill if that makes sense. We have a Vaderstad Rapid and it’s still able to drill after 2 or3 dry days but JD will def not go after that, bit disappointing as wanted to drill winter Beans with it.
Thank you for your input I think the spoked gauge wheels will be worth the investment, the scraper rings sound good, who sells them? Can they be fitted to any gauge wheel?
We have taken all pressure off firming wheels which has helped, In your opinion will spoked wheels prevent blocking or just help with cleaning them out? As soil will still stick on outside of the disc.
Is it normal for the gauge wheels to block first in wet sticky soil? Especially behind tractor wheels or is it something we are doing wrong? Too much pressure?
Obviously it’s v wet now but it wasn’t too bad before and it soon became a problem.
Ok thanks, Will have another measure up in morning, but don’t think it’s as wide as that. Will double check tractor arms are right as well for being central.
