no problemo. row cleaners on every row unit. buckwheat volunteers have already been frost killed.

Horizon DSX manages better penetration with far less weight which is important. Been there and done that with beans on heavy clay comparing both drills. Closes the slot much better as well. Penetration and closing is the disadvantage for vertical design openers.

Hi, Has anyone had issues with tramlining valves controlled by RDS Artemis? Occasionally one side of the tramlining valves do not get any electricity even if symmetrical mode is selected.

Hi, Could anyone help if there is an option to fit a physical switch to manually turn metering units on/off? The GPS switch at the moment is not an option and would like to reduce the seed spillage at the headlands.

A report from Latvia. Some WOSR on 40 cm spacing drilled with rowcleaners adjusted to work aggressively ( 90% of wheat due to the storm was logged and drilled 10 days after harvest). And the boring stuff.. WB on cultivated light land and notill wheat. Successful notill starts with good...

What parts are you missing (been broken?). We have installed few of those and so far works without any issues. They have warehouse in Budapest so getting parts is not that difficult. Any way, we will have them in stock as well, but for whole system there is DHL Express option which is not that...

They are set to work anywhere between 10-60 bar of down pressure. On cultivated soils we are typically using mostly 10 bar, in direct drilling depending on soil type 20-40 bar. The most we have used is 50 bar when establishing spring beans (7 cm) on very dry, hard high Mg heavy clay soil. In...

We have tested DSX drill in Latvia in heavy clay soils versus Novag and Avatar drills. By far the most capable dril notill disc drill for various cropping conditions we have run here . Does not like very light soils that have been cultivated without being pressed. You may end up with the seed at...

Are these Ultralite tines ?

There are few of these in our area. 4 m require around 300 hp, I have not seen a smaller tractor than quadtrack, xerion, rx or tracked axion in front of the 6 m drill. With that being said, huge capital investments are required (4 m drill can be over 200k EUR (select model), 6 m drill depending...

Unidrill/Easydrill is very bad in terms of trash flow. No room between the row units. This comes from 1 year EasyDrill owner. The row units should be arranged on two beams.

Could be. Next year I will defenitely use rake before drilling and perhaps broadcast starter fert before raking. In June I will drill small 2 ha peas cover crop for winter wheat and experiment with different depths, fert, no fert and rolling, not rolling. Of course it will not be spring anymore...

Temperature could be a factor. Where there is no trash it has germinated much better. Although, the soil may have been cold at the time of the drilling, but definitely it was not wet and basically no rain since drilled.

11 days after drilling with the disc drill Heavy land, previous crop buckwheat, 3 cm depth, rolled after drilling. 30 kg N + 7 kg S along with the seed, 30 kg N, 30 kg P, 30 kg K, 22 kg S broadcasted before drilling. My first try at no till SB. Almost no rain this spring and the weather is...

Edit: the seed is good quality, my neighbour also drilled the same seed after plough and it has germinated nicely

I am relying on peas to be important crop in our rotation moving towards the notill system. Beans have had good success when direct drilling with the disc drill, but it is riskier crop to grow in our region (might not rain in the summer and pests will destroy the crop) and the harvesting is...

@warksfarmer How many hp is required per meter? Do you also apply fertilizer while drilling?

Field trials in our country were carried out 3 years in a row for spring barley drilled on 12.5 cm and 25 cm rows. Both with 300 plants/m2. 12.5 cm row spacing yielded (Y1;Y2;Y3): 5 t/ha; 7.9 t/ha; 6.8 t/ha 25 cm rows yielded: 4.5 t/ha; 7.2 t/ha; 6.6 t/ha If there is plenty of moisture and...

I have seen that on heavy land the closing, especially when conditions are slightly wet, is quite bad on these drills. At least Novag coulters tend to block in sticky conditions. A farmer tested some direct drills in here last year. Once the soil started to dry the slots opened...
