Now now show us the bad stuff too!

 

[tw15]

I will go around and take a picture of every field just for you . Really I don't think there is anything that is looking bad . I will go over to some away ground today that was drilled latter with a moores dd drill on probably our poorest ground and it don't look bad . I think Brisel will vouch for me on that as it is in the middle of his estate so probably drives past it more than we see of it .

Hi tw 15 could you post some pictures of your drill or is it a 60ft as in the link thanks in advance .

 

[tw15]

I will try to find some pictures its only the centre section of the 40ft drill just need a few more acres to farm to warrant buying the wings then we are talking . A video of it drilling ww is on youtube under the heading pillar laser drill slo mo uk I think . I will if I can do a link

Thanks looking at piller site transport width only 6 meters ,I presume yours has been modified .?

No just the centre section but you can buy the coulters to put in your own frame a jd750 was converted in France to pillar openers . A coulter costs around 1500 Canadian dollars approx.
