Carrier with straw rake

[Duosig]

I`m considering buying an old carrier with a straw rake. Does anyone has any experience with just using the straw rake with the discs raised? Would crush a few slugs i would think? Is there any difference between the old 425 carrier and the newer 420? its old an pink, but with a new set of discs, it seems like a good tool for straw distrubution and occasional shallow tillage in a DD system.

Thanks
Sigurd

My neighbour has one. The straw harrow is wound all the way up out of work to keep weight on the rest of it. It was easy to block apparently - not enough room between the tines to allow the straw through. They have now bought a Claydon straw harrow.
