[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 3020552, member: 2119"] 5 mph not enough to create tilth? Maybe not? Speed limit because of metering unit limitations and / or drill bounce. Use a metering unit capable of more speed, ditch the beet drill and drop the seed behind the leg. We have always found beet to be more tolerant of variable drilling depth than once thought. If the strip till leaves a visible mark then surely RTK wouldn't be essential? Another thought was something like a rotovator with each rotor spaced 20" apart, working a 2" strip, maybe behind each loosening leg. Would need individual hoods to keep the soil falling back into the strip or they would just dig a trench. Not exactly no till but at least not working the whole field. Many possibilities that I'll never get round to building. Now it's getting too wet on the clay to plough it without smearing it and the sand will blow. The same old dilemmas. Chisel plough, power Harrow and drill? [/QUOTE]
