anyone ever put 30 coulters on 3m drill?

[dannewhouse]

just looking at drills the other day such as amazon box drill it has 30 outlets but only use 24 spouts (125 spacing)

is it possible to get a triple row stagger kit and set it up so there are 30 coulters in total on a 3m drill (100mm spacing)

it might be easier to do on an air drill?

just wondered if it had ever been done before, I like the idea for crop competition against grass weeds and also for drilling grass seeds.

its just an idea atm.

Depends if you have Suffolk or disc coulters on.cannot get more disc coulters on than 24.

Look at the new Moore Unidrill, think iirc there 32 on mine,

My dad used to use A 3m Amazon's box drill with 30 Coulter's then a 4m with 40, that was Suffolk coulters though, 3m with disks was 24 coulters

I was thinking Suffolk coulters another thought was to set them up on the triple row stagger pattern but instead of using the longer coulters mounted on the same coulter bar add in another coulter bar and use say the longer of the 2 row coulters to reach the 3rd position alternatively create a 4 row pattern and use both the longer and shorter normal coulters. might be more work just an idea also no turning round corners as spacing will go a long way to pot!

I have noticed amazon drills have 30 outlets but 6 are blocked off and not used I assume it was an option which many thought wasn't worth the £££

for grass pull the hoses out and spread out over the whole 3 meters

My accord has 32 coulters in 3m

 

[dannewhouse]

why is 32 a common coulter number? seems a weird spacing of 93.75mm or is it because 32 is the normal number on a 4m so people have just put the distributer on a 3m and piped up accordingly?


of these 30+ coulter 3m drills are they all triple stagger or some 2 row? and all Suffolk coulters?

I have heard about dropping the tubes out for drilling grass seeds, do you ever get it not coving full width as mine would hang in a bit? also I do like tramlines and cant fault my grass drilled with 25 coulters 120mm spacing

Neighbour had 32 Suffolk coulters on a 3m accord drill, mounted on a kuhn power harrow, 2row stagger, specially for spring barley, seemed to work well.

That's it

Especially on an accord

I know someone who cut down a 4m krm and used all the coulters on 3m instead of 4m and it was a disc drill.

can you not just add extra pipes to accord air drill or any for that matter? as most have holes in hopper with bungs in but not looked into it any more than that.
