OSR but I'm not talking about that, I'm pretty sure it's not a drill issue, just a dogged determination not to use Slug pellets or insecticides.
Started drilling wheat after OSR today, looks to be going in lovely, must confess I am going to try to kill a few slugs this time though.
We always put a couple of kg ferric slug pellets down the spout in winter wheat. The nature of the channel left by the Baker boot makes it a slugs canteen if he finds it.

If you think that's simple you should see my 3m box drill ;) refreshingly uncomplicated.
I have had a 3m on farm and drilled some AB9 plots with it. Sceptical as I was about the metering it calibrated well and drilled out accurately. I used the first Small Countryside Productivity Grant to make the 4m cost the same as a 3m. With the extended hopper I can just let a tonne bag in unthrottled which helps make 2.5ha/hr a realistic output drilling wheat at 8km/hr.
