Would a Claydon drill work in a ploughed situation? Specifically a trailed one with the front press tyres.
Looks like a good solution, this would give me the option of dd cover crops into stubble. Bit of dd into covers if I can get that to work etc etc.
I also want to put fert down so the twin tine option looks like a good one.
This is in a rotation with lots of potatoes and carrots (about 30% of the rotation). wheat, spring barley and combinable rye. I probably need to plough for the rye to try and reduce ergot problems as sometimes there are two ryes in a row. But we are drilling about 500 acres of covers a year for spring crops so looks like a bit of a no brainer.
