[QUOTE="juke, post: 5557600, member: 13022"] we shave of winter oats n bale normally , spring oats really long stubble and chop the last couple of years... its a very rare occurrence for us to plant any cereals with the leading leg on now just beans cover crops and osr . we use the apm longer legs for rape and beans that you suggested, got a worn set of proper claydon legs that we still do use on the odd occasion on some really abrasive land that we contract drill. after that its leading disc for the cereals... ive re read the postings more now, I should add we have a newholland tx combine that wont be chopping as fine as you guys with newer combines. ours leaves a more coarse longer chop, which to be fair is probably better in the case of a rain event not as much material on the bottom for the drill to cope with. I know I keep preaching about the disc but this is the absolute ideal time to use it, please make sure you use new a shares to act as a sweep to give a clean as possible row for wheat to come away without any hinderance from the oat straw especially if it does turn a bit damp in these situation where we are dealing with chopped material have the batterboards more or less just skimming along doing just enough just to try and alleviate any trash issues. the other thing we do which im sure all you southern guys do is drill the inside of the headland first so any trash that is attached to the drill is dumped on already drilled ground doesn't cause any issues in the new crop within reason...
