[QUOTE="Graham A.B Edwards, post: 2627504, member: 2904"] Dear Hartwig.....our approach to design is to direct our attention to ALL of the WORK TASKS in Ca-No-Till.......not JUST drilling........................we think there are always five tasks & in some soil conditions & for certain vegetables ....sometimes two more. Let us try to be holistic in our approach to farm tractor design.......& therefore conduct ALL of the tasks that the TRACTOR is Involved in. The tractor design for pulling trailers is very different from creating a PLOUGHING-first & Rotovating tractor.for ALL of the farmers work tasks. Farmers need to understand WHY this is BEFORE they. think about EACH of the 5-7 CA-work tasks. It is when the farmer is PREPARED to study ALL of the work tasks in CA that he needs a particular kind of high-speed Light in weight TRANSPORT-Focused tractor & not a plougher. This cannot be done before the farmer examines his complete ANNUAL calendar of WORK-Tasks.......as he moves from the older ploughing system in to the very different CA-system [See ECAF conference paper Brussels ,the last paper,April 2014]. The need for this kind of PLANNING tool for farmers is also used by the French firm Gregoire & this needs to be looked at alongside the crop-rotation planning system that is a key part of no-till. The WTA report is available as well as the ECAF paper from [email]aowen123@btinternet.com[/email] .....free of any charge.....should you or others be interested in the way PLANNING AHEAD has to be a serious part of the NO-till {CA} farming system . I hope this helps .Thank you Graham. [/QUOTE]
