750A coulter wear

Are these ready for changing or still good to go?

Not a very good picture but the boots look ok to me. The discs however look as though they need changing especially if you’re going to dd with them in trash, ok if you’re working in cultivated land only.

Thanks Simon. The guideline for changing the discs is when they are down to 17", right?

We have worn ours don't to 16 inch by moving the boots up to the upper hole as most of our drilling this year has been into moved or cultivated ground. This has worked for us and still got 2 depth settings left to go deeper. Seed depth has been very good and emergence very even. Will need to change for next season though.

Sorry to butt in, appreciate these drills are design for Dd, how do these drills go on ploughed land ?
Thinking about Dd autumn cereal, then maybe spring drilling barley.

We have drilled this back end into cultivated soils from a carrier through to after a dtx. All looks good and came up very even. Just need to watch the pressure on the Coulters. Set about 40 on loose soil, up to 70 plus on firm soil. You get the depth even by uping the pressure when you have the depth you want on some of the rows and then up the pressure on the Coulters till all even depth. We are planning to drill into over wintered soils in the spring also.
