Cheap, simple, lightweight and fairly tidy, it's exactly what we look for when buying machinery.

We weren’t using it as a direct drill more like a conventional tine drill , we have a 10.5m tine drill so the sabre tine wasn’t used . Good drill though .
Is that your KV sabre conversion that we bought? If so, it now has Metcalfe legs, a couple extra to bring it to 6m, and does all our drilling apart from maize.

Yea we have an old moorehouse gyro rammer, simple mechanical setup as well. Ours works on rollers off the pro. Big lever pushes the rollers against the column which lifts the hammer, then relase and it falls. The good thing is you need 2 hands to operate, one for the roller lever and the other for the release lever so chances of your hand being crushed are low, other persons obviously still capable of being injured.
