    Wide spacing cereal crops... pictures please

    As above really, I know there are various people who post in the direct drilling photo gallery thread but I was hoping some could share pictures throughout the growing season, this 1 especially, of crops grown at 250mm spacing (or there abouts) It isn't really the year to be able to go cruising...

    John Deere Gen4 won't do variable rate.

    We have a 6215r with a Gen 4 display. We have a 2016 Kuhn 40.2 spreader, 2014 JD750a drill and a Vad Rapid Drill think it's a 2007. The Gen4 I am told will not do variable rate with my machines, they are too old. Anyone else having similar problem, seems a never ending spend with GPS !

    Best shallow cultivator to work along side 750 a

    Am looking for a shallow cultivator to work in front of my 750a to get a chit and create a bit of soil to help slot closure, mineralisation etc Was keen on a carrier/joker type machine but I now think a tined cultivator would be best due to discs not moving all the soil and ctreating a...

    Spring barley looking poor...

    Some of the stuff i've sown is, some is ok, some is terrible! It looks like i've sown it too thin, but I've not, it is desperate for a good downpour, I was thinking while driving from them earlier, there's not been drop of proper rain since they went in the ground. How's yours looking?

    OSR next year

    It’s become almost an addiction here to drill rape for an early start to harvest. The way our OSR looks this year we would of been better off fallowing for an early start. 30% was lost in the autumn which is now linseed, 20% has been put into barley or beans in the spring, 10% is in failed...

    Are their any other zero till drills (with a similar tine as used on the Amazone Condor drill) available in the uk?

    I ask, as the above tine is a superb tool for zero till seeding, in stony soil conditions as long as drill is driven slowly, tines pushes stones to one side allowing seed to be planted in to soil,rather than a disc coulter "RIDDING OVER THE STONE LEAVING SEED ON THE SURFACE!!!!". Have...

    Cover crop cost v low disturbance subsoiling

    Good evening, how much does a decent deep rooting cover crop cost per acre in comparison to some form of low disturbance subsoiling? Just wondering what actual figures people are getting. I’ve had 40 acres drilled this spring with a 750a as a test to see if I could use this kind of system...

    Have your, strip drilled (Claydon /Mzuri etc), Zero tilled (JD 750A/Horsch Avatar etc) germinated more evenly than ???

    As above have/are your spring crops germinating more evenly than your neighbours crops planted more conventially? I only ask as an ex farmer, as there seems to be a lot of uneven germination in min till or traditionally ploughed/cultivated,drilled crops. Thankyou.

    Vaderstad Carrier with Crosscutters

    Hi, Anyone have any experience just using the Vaderstad Carrier with Crosscutter discs as a shallow tillage before drilling? Im thinking about trying this to get the straw-breakdown going faster, as previous direct drilling has had some problems in wet autumns with the straw. This is in clay...

    Anyone rolling spring barley a 2nd time now it’s rained?

    As above , the idea is that it will crush some clods in bare patches ,thereby creating seed to soil contact? I say that as looks to have been a job to conserve moisture where crops have been planted conventionally.

    JD 750 closing wheels

    Has anyone fitted weights to the new toothed closing wheels on pro series openers? Standard units do a good job in most conditions but there are places where more weight / more spring pressure would be better. Get weights made or better just to change to gutters and weights?
