[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7100485, member: 348"] The Aitchison is a very much lighter, weaker drill than the Simtech. I’ve run a Simtech for 6 years and I've never had a broken tine. I did break one foot (bolts on bottom of time and T boot mounted to it) once, but only as I hit a submerged wall from an old garden. The tips on the original coulters would wear and the odd one might break on big stones, so always kept a bucket of removed ‘part worn’ ones to replace with matching points. My new Simtech has thicker tines still and a redesigned T boot, which is very much more hard wearing (still showing next to no wear after 2 seasons) and don’t appear to break on stones. There’s a reason the NZ Aitchison can be bought cheaper, the same reason that Simtech have developed their drills somewhat since them, whilst still keeping the same principles. [/QUOTE]
