The problem with CT in the UK is that the combine wheel widths do not match the tractors, so you end up running on 12% of the field (800 & 710 tyres on an 8/24m system) I would argue that the potential yield gain in the non trafficked area is offset by the yield loss in the concrete-like tramlines. How do you do headlands, poles, straw baling, mole draining etc with CT?
My policy is to keep grain trailers to tramlines as much as possible, and use wide tyres or tracks for all cultivation.
