well that would cost 8400€ for a 4meter + shipping which is far to much in my opinion.
Could put them in front of the tine on a claydon!

Hi guys, I can assure you the original video was much better quality than the one posted here. We use our row cleaners on 7.5" spacings and 10" spacings. In thick residue you can get blockage in the middle of the unit where the left and right openers meet. This can be dealt with by not using the two centre residue managers and locking them in the out of service position. Not ideal but a quick solution to deal with the situation. Obviously space plays a major part in this but if you can still deal with the residue on the other openers. Any other questions?
I've been looking quite seriously at a major change in machinery policy over the last 12 months. I've looked at the prime west cross slot and been very impressed, but have yet to see a 750a working which seems the nearest competitor. A 6metre 750a will be approx £70k, my question to those of you that use one is what would I need to add to a standard new one to enable it to work in 'most' dd situations. I.e. Row cleaners, guttler rollers etc. if you are able to price these for me then so much the better! Many thanks in advance...

start with guttlers but the most important things come before the drill - rotation and trash management. make sure you gen up a bit on this first!
Have spent hundreds of hours on TFF "researching" these very subjects. Just ask my wife! As for trash management, that really follows on from rotation in my opinion. I currently bale everything, but would like to be introducing cover crops and widening the rotation, however at the present time I have a number of share farm/contract farmers who may just take some persuading. An impending change in the structure of the farm means I may have the opportunity to start with a blank sheet of paper and implement my 'fantasy farm'. I've all but convinced myself a cross slot is the way to go as it may be more forgiving of my mistakes, although there are a few points I would like to iron out first, however it would be wrong of me not to check out the nearest competitor. Looking forward to this years drill trial! Did get 50 acres drilled with the cross slot on a neighbours last Autumn, but couldn't get a 750a in. Thanks for your response

Where do you see an advantage of a CS over 750a ? It what situation on your farm and planned rotation would you expect it to perform better or do something the 750 couldn't ?
I'd also recommending visiting lots of farmers from here too if you can.
Stop it!Purely from a seed placement point of view, I see the fact that the seed isn't placed directly in the vertical opening as a good thing. On clay soils the potential for that slot to open up if the ground dries out as a risk that the CS overcomes. Conversely, in a wet time, I like the fact that the disc cutting to a depth several inches below the seed depth can only help to encourage rooting

Pointing out agronomic reasons for a CS being better than a 750a is against the rules.
