Low disturbance arable subsoilers
I’m thinking I need one to relieve compaction now I am moving away from ploughing. I like the idea of low disturbance, but is that possible combined with removing compaction? Are leading discs important? How many legs/meter? Do some manufacturers make a better job of it than others? -

Claydon drill
Currently a traditional set up; plough/ heavy cultivations then drill but looking at going straight in to stubble or minimum amount of tillage. Looking at a Claydon, are they any good…? Cropping consists of wheat, barley, oats, maize & grass but obviously would only be for cereal crops.- PI Stsker
