no idea but going to try it behind shakerator
They aren’t very strong at all but I find those 25mm square pigtails snap like carrots in springs like this as well so as we have no stones I like strong solid tines
It was only the headland drilled later.
We are adding a couple more legs to make it fit our new sprayer, and have chosen Simba Pro-active type top springs from Spaldings (11375) as we cannot source the original KV parts. The Simba have 3 bolt holes for attaching the Sabre leg, whereas the Kongskilde has a funny shaped hole which is designed for the tine to pass through.
I’d like to know who that is cos I’ve a horrible feeling he’s not telling the truth.
Check out David Jones on Twitter.
Just think how much the yield would be on 12.5cm rows!
I thought so. He was claiming a world record for a 20 metre square plot.
I’m not sure I’ve just seen it on his page a few time. Perhaps with extremely long days and regular precipitation 25cm is better over there in terms of light interception and less surface for disease to proliferate.
In Kenya we are looking at 12 hour days with little variation whilst we've high sunlight intensity day length limits yield. Some higher areas are cooler but not necessarily wetter but cereals are unlikely to grow much longer than 120 days which will limit yields. We've got irrigation but I still think with the varieties we have here 3 tonnes about as high as we can go. We built our own drill and made a mess drilling the first couple of fields burying stuff too deep so that rather than six inch rows we got 12 it's amazing how well they've grown but I still think they will struggle to give us the right yield.
I think he has done a great job getting machines together working in a real world situation and not controlled.only losers I can see are the manufacturers who drills have not worked aswell as others
