sprinter

Weighing up our options, currently running a 7310r as our prime mover but we only really need the power for 3 months of the year. Thinking a 6250r with the new hyd boost may be a more versatile option? Needs to be able to pull a 6m horsch sprinter on 5"dutch coulters well which is about as hard...

Well I guess it’s time to start another annual thread about how peoples crops are looking at the start of the year. All pics taken today. Generally I’m pretty happy at present other than one but of rape that looks a bit thin in places thanks mainly to pheasants🙄 Wheats Skyfall Two year...

Does anyone know how the old Moore unidrills compare with the new red ones. I know they have the small metal wheels to roll in the ground behind the discs whereas the new ones often have a packer roller. Has anyone retrofitted an old Moore Unidrill with a packer roller rather than the metal wheels?

TRANSITION EXPERIENCES GIVE GROUNDSWELL GUIDANCE Transitioning to more regenerative regimes hasn’t been entirely plain sailing for three growers with very different soils and situations who shared their experiences at a packed Agrii Green Horizons seminar at this year’s Groundswell. However...

Hi I’ve ordered a 6R185 for next spring, the tractor will be mainly pulling a 4M Trailed drill just wondering will the hydraulic fan on the drill be enough to activate the boost. The book says it’s available for hydraulic applications. Salesman didn’t really give a clear yes or no. Any current...

In the time I have been a reader of Direct Driller Magazine, I have learnt a lot from the magazine’s content. While at the fantastic Groundswell event, Chris Fellows persuaded me to write a contribution to the magazine, which I am more than happy to do to give something back, so here is my...

Hi all, First time poster, long time reader! Looking to transition my farm slowly towards a 8m CTF system. Just hoping to hear from anyone running the same, and whether there is anything I should particularly be aware of before going down this route? I guess learnings from running this system...

Currently considering a 6m sprinter on dutch/metcalf etc, but also giving consideration to Sabre tine (new type 4 row prob front tank). Anybody run both? Would be used either as direct drill or on very lightly cultivated ground? Sprinter would need full width packer for depth.

Are the Avatars generally as low maintenance as advertised ? What is the bearing situation etc and any other maintenance issues people have had ? TIA

Currently running a twin hopper 4m sprinter st D Drilling on 1 inch Bourgaults with a 165puma and debating changing to a 6m, is there anyone running a 6m that could advise as to wether extra horsepower would be needed?

Seems a modern fad with no advantage to me Today my Navara was in for service so asked my mother to run me to York to collect it . I drove her car there and she drove her car home, Great until she stopped for some milk and found out i had her keys in my pocket and it would'nt start A...

I managed to get 3 DD drills on demo in the last couple of days. the field is going spring wheat in late March so the emerging crop will not be taken to harvest. But here are a few pictures. No doubt there will be some criticism that I drilled the wrong crop on the wrong day with the wrong...

I have been looking at direct drills for a while now. Specifically looking at the moore unidril, the claydon, the horsch (though ruled that out as they are too expensive and too long in a trailed option) and the weaving (disc or tine). Recently also come across the simtech. We have a mix of...

I'm struggling with my Claydon to get it to bury the seed and not block up at the same time! It runs fine and the soil flows through the leading tines and the seed Coulters. But the final row of ' boards' as I call them just don't fill in the troughs made by the Coulters and when you increase...
