3m direct drill for grant - what models are out there?

[newholland]

Hello everybody,

What manufactures are out there who sell a very basic 3m, 1000lt single hopper drill which meets the FETF grant?

Got the usual ones noted down - Simtec, Duncan, Moore, Aitchison, Erth.

Who else make a 3m direct drill for £25k?
Any food for thought appreciated - either disc, tine or both.

Many thanks.

I believe Bramley seed establishment are launching one. They had the plans on display at YAMS alongside their 6m one based on metcalf openers. Options of leading discs then tines or just tines. You could have tyre packer or following Harrow too.

How do you get penetration pressure with just the toolbar as weight out of interest?

Proforge would be one to add, suspect sabre, Dale etc would be well in excess of 25k. Aitchison would be least expensive at around 12k for the basic one. Co Horsch with dutch/vos/metcalfe openers is a very good option for low cost dd if you're not set on a grant.

Do you have any more information on the 3 m trailed DSX? When will the machine be available on the market? There is currently a funding programme for no-till technology here in Germany. The 4 metre machine is too big for our small farm. However, the mounted no-till drill is also not suitable for our farm due to the row spacing. I basically like the DSX. Therefore, a 3 m trailed seed drill with 18.75 cm row spacing would be very interesting for us.

No idea.
