Bob ,we had a sumo ,discarator ,type machine , ,,sold it ,as hell of a weight and hard on tractor linkage ,
So bought the knight c press which is similar to all the short disc type machines , do it with that ,then low disturbance subsoiler with following coil ,for light ,medium soil and a dd type press for heavier land , keeps the tilth on top and low disturbance subsoiler does not bring big lumps up
A weaving subdisc maybe worth a look ,lighter and easier pull

Neighbour uses a Discerator on predominantly clay, does a great job.
Look at a Terrano type machine, ducksfoot tines followed by a packer, they're extremely popular for a reason.

Thanks Will , my knowledge is very limited on this subject , but I'm a quick learner
My neighbour has one also , going down tomorrow to borrow it .... oops .
On our ground once the ground is broken down it must be sown , if it gets wet basically you're fooked .
Bit more info might help ,what land you on ,etc as you will get 20000 different opinions ,
What drill are you going to use

Terrano is a great tool. Fg one I think with wide points and no packer. That, a tyned press, and set of rolls is all I'm keeping.
Good question , I'm hoping if it makes a half decent job , the 4m mf disc drill up it's arse should suffice

Is your land heavy BG ground?
I bought a trio and thought it was the best thing ever. However, a number of years later the BG was out of control
.
Obvious really, as you mix the seeds through the entire top soil profile so whatever herbicide program you use, there are plenty of seeds safe, waiting for their chance.

The trio is virtually the same machine .
Ideally the legs need to be 9 inches down

3m mounted. They are heavy, needed over 200 hp tractor. Think McConnell is more manageable. If you have no bg I would think a good tool.
I like the wings on the legs of the trio , mcconnell is just straight legs , how many acres an hour ? 10 ?

I use a discorator. smaller packer than the trio hence it is lighter. pull it with nh 7.210 at about 9-10k and in my opinion does a better job its a 7 leg auto reset . powerharrowdrill straight in behind
How deep on the legs ?
