Any ERTH agriseeder users out there?

Looking for opinions on the ERTH drill. Mainly will be used for what it’s made for, but will be also going over full cultivation for reseeds. I assume being a grassland drill it can drill small seeds like chicory and turnips? Just looking for user feedback and also any options that people wouldn’t be without like a specific type of roller and that sort of thing. I wouldn’t mind some running costs (I understand this differs with a whole heap of variables) if you don’t mind. Cheers all

We have had a 32 row 3 m machine for over a year now and getting on well with it. Running costs too early to say, had a disc bearing go but that might just have hit a stone who knows. Very easy to operate and calibrate, jd6130 handles it easily even with a ton of ballast on it for dry times. Back up from Tractorbob is excellent and he is very good at setting you away if you are unfamiliar with the machine. The roller maybe a weak point for full contact in certain conditions but a guttler can be problematic when it’s wet ( which it often is ).
