Thanks. How fast did you go with it?

Any good in the wet or do the press wheels block up?

I have just checked the JD parts website and these are now listed at over £200 each! Is this correct? Will I get a better price from my local dealer? The part number has also changed to AA98187 How much are Mudsmiths now?

Yes!

Mine is an OT. I found generic seals. I'll dig out the invoice and post the company details on here. Someone remind me if I haven't done it in a week or so.

Plenty on the thread IIRC.

They aren't stiff enough

You were a good source of advice when mine went Angus! I sourced some seals after a good bit of internet searching. They were a tiny fraction of the cost from JD. Luckily the motor off my KV front hopper is interchangeable with the one on the drill so I could keep going while I found the...

I have converted a trailer one with Metcalfe points. (Search for the Simba Metflow thread.) I have 25 cm row spacing but the clearance between the rows is just as important. Originally had tines spread over first 3 rows but trash could block it. Changed to 2 rows (second and fourth) and it...

Black oats regularly showed a benefit to the peas. Don't see why ordinary oats shouldn't also. There was evidence that too much radish could exacerbate footrot issues.

Drill with linseed again. Harvest next March/April. Follow with s barley. 2 crops in 1 year. Now, where's that box I've been told about....

Hairy vetch, phacelia, linseed. Anything you can home save? You will only want 3-4 kg/ha of mustard or it will swamp everything else.

If it was the one at Richard Firby's then that is the one I have now.

Thanks that's helpful.

My understanding is that linseed is a very favourable host for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. They release glomalin which helps to form aggregates in the soil which benefits the soil structure.

There is some evidence from the PGRO vining pea cover/catch crop trial that catch crops with a high proportion of buckwheat can have a negative effect on the yield of the following wheat crop. I'm sure I have heard this claim from others too.

A pic of an unused one would be great. Thanks

They look ideal for my plan. Where did you get them? I have an idea to fit some at 50cm spacing on my conversion (see the thread Simba Metflow) to make a strip tiller for osr. The front tine mounts on mine are held on by U bolts so I can adjust the position of them to align with a coulter tine...

Could you show some pics of the mini subsoiler legs on the front please? I have a cunning plan.....
