control traffic 9 m drill header 27m sprayer combine on 24 inch tracks
with Spring moledraining At 4.5 m every 4 or 5 years
heavy silty clay Which moles well When moist enough and cracks in the summer
The biggest problem is balers especially when the straw is moved Now chopping Cereals pre spring crops
after break crops cannot see a mark
do not travel if it is too wet no wheels Off tramlines in field from 23 sept to 28 march
if it is too wet stay off
Trailers unload on tramlines only

What sort of drill are you using?

How do zero or min till people treat combine wheel marks? This last week we have run a Culti-press straight into stubble and it leaves a lovely 2 -3 ins of tilth. Good soil structure underneath, so perfect for our Moore drill.....EXCEPT that the combine wheelings remain almost untouched and hard. Even if we went straight in with Moore, it would drill well exept for the combine wheelings. Medium/heavy silt.

stop cultivating and wheelings will not be a problem

it’s a hamster wheel- cultivation creates the need for cultivation!
