They are from Weavings , we have them on our combie and our 750a I'm convinced we are getting better placement along the row . They are only about six quid each so won't break the bank

have they reduced/ eliminated blockages on your 750?
what fan speed are you using?
Yes we don't have a lot of problems with blocked pipes now . I run the fan anywhere from 2500 rpm on rapeseed to 5000rpm on beans . The back pressure in the coulter on a 750a is quite significant because of the design of the opener and the seed flap , we think with the weaving diffusers were dumping around 50% of the air and getting better spacing along the row . The d-cup diffuser dumps a claimed 100% of the air and their video on their website is quite impressive but they are £100 each .

Thanks for the help. Will send a mail to weaving, and hope they will send to Denmark.

Also found these, locks smart as you can adjust them so the flow will be equal on all pipes. But prob most on wider drills than we use here in Europe.

I priced the needham ag ones 12 months or so ago and they were very expensive - something like £50 IIRC by the time they were in the uk

Hmm that´s a high price for 2 pieces of steel pressed together, the seed brakes from airguard is 30 euro, but probably a lot more before they are over the big sea.
