Are you having a laugh while on a different forum in a parallel universe?..... Where is all this talk about CS you speak of?... There is none, it's in your imagination. I won't be giving a diatribe of the so called good and bad drills. I have never done that either on here or around my own...

Your opinion?.... Yeah right, more like Silliams laws on crop establishment, I wouldn't be posting anything if it came across as just an opinion. Your reading and comprehension isn't too flash is it? I'm not going to keep repeating myself except to say one of the last things I said the other...

I find it curious you keep peddling you own view of the world like it is set in stone fact..... I think it makes it look like you don't know much outside your own farm.

I agree..... Perhaps Silliam would grasp the concept better if rather than thinking about it in terms of the weird and wonderful 'yield enhancing features', I think in terms of a given field having a certain 'yield potential', and we try to eliminate all possible limiting factors, be it...

Are you on a mission to see how much of every bodies time you can single handedly waste? It's not about which drills 'consistently produce lower yields...... I know of none, and conversely I know that all the different designs can go very well. Probably in contrast to most if not all other...

Agree regarding proportion of livestock farms in UK, however mentioned it because there seems a lot more talk on here regarding 'mixed ' farms which will lead to firmer spring sowing conditions and almost certainly lead to more grass in your rotation..... Both these conditions result more...

You don't need to go as far as an old Suffolk coulter to illustrate the point, and I'm not going to to keep repeating myself with various examples that I would have thought were easy to understand and accept. To put it another way there are plenty of senarios where some setups will struggle to...

Sorry Silliam that's silly and I'm calling complete, total and utter BS on that post. I don't know why I'm wasting time replying to this but at the risk of further entertaining the popcorn brigade, you've sucked me in again. Why don't we all just buy the cheapest nastiest drill... Please ...

That may be the crux of the issue..... If you don't believe it does anything better then why would you spend more. There are a few on here that don't think the CS offers anything over others yet the same people pay significantly more for a heavier, more complex, high maintenance Claas combine...

You've done your numbers there based on 5 kph, a number someone has plucked out of the air to make their point.... fair enough. But I don't think a job where a 750 setup is doing 13 is going to limit the CS setup to 5 tbh. Drilling cereals on hilly terrain is going to be the slowest type of...

So in terms of 'spray label restrictions', I don't fully understand how spraying grass weeds, including cereal volunteers, could be illegal. This is since those target weeds would be on the label, and I'm fairly sure that brassicas is also on the label, in this country at least..... your...

That's exactly what i do when drilling forage rape after cereals. The rape can either be purely as a cc, which is not common in NZ, or for grazing. As far as I'm concerned, eliminating volunteers is good practice since you grow better than twice the rape crop over winter with no green cereal...

Edit : referring to Statics drainage comment. I couldn't agree more with this and Feldspar's post previously. Obviously for those on free draining soil types or low rainfall regions it is not relevant, however to minimise the impact of crap weather (and that includes a dry period after a wet...

Is there any merit in drilling of a cc that does not contain anything from the grass family, so that a grass weed selective herbicide can used to take out BG etc?

I'm sorry but I think a bit of a pointless thread..... what did you expect from sprinkling some seed on the surface. Even if it goes well sometimes, it isn't exactly a high percentage method is it.

Ok I get it now. You're talking about just putting the 18.4 's outside the the 520's. Depends how much mud you get in as to how much gap you need, unless you run scrapers between duals. I would agree with Multipower calculation.

I have had CNH Magnums on 480/80 r50's with an overall width of 3.1 m. Some tractors are too wide in the rear body though to get duals that narrow.

How fast you cutting? you'd have to be doing 7 kph at least allowing for turning etc and at 10 t / ha you're stopping and unloading a lot...... I'm wondering if you are remembering a little wrong.....:ninja:

Some characters on here probably need to build a bridge and get over themselves. With regard to this argument between people who run new gear compared to older gear, there are numerous different circumstances out there that people find themselves in and no one recipe is going to be right for...

You should stop kicking your self now..... We're still here(y)
