You never see a poor OAD farmer
Correct they are vadarstad discs. Should be able to drill anything but I will use it for forage crops and grass. Will experiment with adding clover and herbs in existing leys.

Keep us updated please, what made you go for that one as opposed to a Moore unidrill? (I believe they are very similar?)
Price! Erth about £5k cheaper and is galvanized.

Thats a fair difference - between galvanising costs a good £2000 now! Is there anything different about the way they work at all?

as a trial, we direct drilled 4ac spring barley this year, with our vaderstat, looked bloody awful for ages, but as time went on, it got better, decent crop there now, just 2 weeks behind the conventionally drilled s barley.
Another time, we will have learnt a bit, so should be better. There's a decent crop there, for a spray of r-up, and drilling, saving a plough, and work and drill. We like our vady, drill everything other than maize with it. Neighbour drilled his maize with one, for several years, but returned to a 'proper' maize drill.
but, if you don't try alternative ways, you will never know if they work, or not. And there are cash savings as well, by using min-til, or d/d, you can save fuel, and improve soil structure.

when we did the foundations for our bungalow, it looked tiny, thought we had made a mistake, but it turned out to be, a big spacious bungalow. Foundations, are pretty misleading, made the same mistake, on an extension to our house.
