4m mounted folding drill

[Flat 10]

Not just a plain accord type, must have more a cultivation element so either a drill mate type thing or be a tine drill. Interested to see what people have. Fairly flexible on coulter type but needs to cope with some trash. TIA

@Flat 10 I've had my eye out for a 4m folding drillmate/accord combi as 2nd drill for a good while and they seen like hens teeth!!

I did miss a beauty that someone local sold a few years ago for 1250 quid. He said his phone was ringing within minutes of placing the advert[emoji26]

I bought a KRM optidrill as a replacement to our accord ....

although it's about 4x as heavy, couldn't be more pleased with the results...

It's also a 4.8 m so less passes too ..

What coulters and packers?

Hence me asking

 

[Flat 10]

If rigid I might as well buy a 4m combination.

 

[Flat 10]

I could wait until a dry autumn and buy an accord tine drill or similar.

 

[its.... only me]

Both Wilfred Scrutons & Setchfields have folding mounted KRM drills, although I don’t know how up-to date their websites are ??

Think it's been advertised for quite a while now, think i remember reading it last year

 

[cousinjack]

What coulters and packers?

Ours has a row of rigid tines, then 2 rows of spring tines, then a tyre packer roll, then disc coulters with following harrow... no packer after the disc coulters as we don't need any consolidation after the drill.

I think the one in the advert above is tine coulters..

Bump, couldn’t find what I wanted so bought something else but wet proved I really could do with one. I think Farmforce would be the best if I could find one. @grainboy had a nice folding drill mate but I think it’s been exported now and I couldn’t find a drill I wanted to put on it when I first looked.
