I know disc mowers are more popular than drum mowers but I really dislike my Krone disc mower. It's on its fifth season, it's unreliable and is hard to get as tidy a job as with the vicon drum mower we used to have.
Looking at alternatives, has anyone got a Weaving drum mower which I think are...
Hi Folks, i don't often post, i work at Rothamsted and we're hoping to set up a DD experiment with different wheat varieties. Interested in any comments on suitable or unsuitable candidates, also any comments on particular traits that might be important for direct drilling. Happy for any...
We currently use various methods for planting our crops inc plough, cultivate/power harrow and drill and also sumo early then drill. We have a Rapid and a Weaving tine drill which both work well but move quite a bit of soil allowing a flush at seeding. What reasonably priced low disturbance...
All these fancy machines from Horsch, Kuhn, Horizon - great big trailed things with a 5 tonne hopper

Interested to hear people who went thoughts?
Cheers

Why aren’t grain drills made like beet drills? Set and forget. Stable depth through soft and hard going not constantly on the lever.
I have soft sand and clay...
