That looks like a really well finished professional job (y)

Obviously not in England but in Montana we harvested on a farm that was once part of the largest privately owned wheat farm in the world at 90,000ac. We had the fields pre-loaded into our Greenstar screens and the names were simply the acreage. The story of the farms is very interesting...

I really like the JD theme, was it complicated to do?

I'll get some pictures of the hardware in due course, but this is my first AOG steered crop coming up nicely, with tramlines AOG'd in too. Next step is a base station too as I'm just a bit too far to pick up my nearest Ntrip one at Cambridge, and I do notice a little bit of drift, for example...

I have the same drill, with a manual that sort of matches. Happy to scan anything you need if that helps

Was that altered from standard? I'm at 125mm across 3 rows which I think is too tight, so first priority is to remove some tines, quite how many and how I arrange the remaining ones is up for debate as well as blocking off unused outlets

Interesting on the speed aspect, not sure I could pull at that speed but worth a try. What is the tine spacing on your drill?

Put this in the Simtech thread by mistake. Not the best maiden voyage with the Aitchison unfortunately, plenty of thinking to do this winter.

Was it then a 4m rigid? I'd be interested to explore this, however access might be an issue as it's already wide enough for the places I have to take it!

I realise it's a bit different, but thought there might be some commonality with the Simtech hence my post. Thanks for the other link, could have done with that info before I applied for the grant and bought the drill. Never mind, perhaps there's a way around all this.

Well we had a learning experience this weekend. First go out with the Aitchison. Plan was to drill 3 fields: 2x ex wheat, chopped straw, not touched since the combine except roundup. 1x ex spring beans. Bit of weed trash including a lot of fair sized knotgrass. Set off into the first field...

It's my first year with it this year. I would have liked something with a rear roller but the only option in Simtech/Aitchison are mounted and I prefer trailed for wheat drilling. I'm prepared to be wrong but with such a small area to drill we are unlikely to be operating in bad conditions, and...

I don't have a rear roller or chains on my Aitchison and I've been wondering if this is a good or bad thing. I guess it means I'll be able to keep going longer in sticky conditions if I need to, avoiding the above situation. I still think some kind harrow bar would be useful, that can be used or...

Some of the best views I've had have been of "nothing" in places like Kansas. Less stuff in the way means you can see more sky, like at sunset

Something tells me you should be using LATITUDE......

Keeping the trailers/chaser/cart system running efficiently by unloading in the most efficient place, which isn't necessarily always when the lights start flashing. Monitor grain quality/losses and adjust if necessary, even if on auto setting, the auto bit needs telling what it's aiming for...

First year with an Aitchison this year. I have winter wheat to drill into weedy spring bean stubble, and wheat stubble with chopped straw. We are on clay land. I'm not too worried about the ex-bean land. It's quite weedy but I cut very low and will get glyphosate on soon enough. The soil...

I don't really know about sheep, but good on you for wanting to push yourself and start something of your own. Hope it goes well.
