[QUOTE="steveR, post: 8271982, member: 66976"] Well.... another Summer is drawing to a close, and just had the Aitchison out to stitch in some clovers, plantains and chicory into an old PP that is a bit sad. Bought as straights. The mix was quite interesting as the herb seeds bulked and slowed the seedmix through the drill rollers, and I did not need to mix mix rice in after a test calibration, as the seed was moving nicely. Experience has shown that with ultra low seed rates, wind the rate down a full turn after calibrating, as the vibration will push the actual rates up a tad. Now to wait for some rain. :) Ground was hard even after the recent showers and I pondered weights, but in the end, the tines were in 5mm which was plenty. Autumn drilling coming up and some stiff old clays to go at this time, and based on my experiences, the discs might just come out for a tickle, although I found some tractor weights hung off the frame helped a lot.
