Direct drills

I don't suppose anyone's got a 2.4 m Moore they don't want? I think they did a 2.4m?

Theres a couple on Weavings website. Strong money.

By the time you've built a drill I bet it'll be very near the cost of an old Horsch CO or Simba Freeflow that you can simply retrofit narrow opening tines to for very little money and have a drill that'll work very well in almost all conditions. Then if you don't carry on the drill is still worth near enough what you paid for it. In fact these drills seem to to appreciating now so you might even be quids in.....

What openers would you put on ,and what row widths ,can you do , know of a nice 3 m ,horsch co , what would it cost to convert ,and what are there limitations ,thanks

Once your head is sorted the drill becomes the easy bit
I would get someone who is further down the route to drill some crops for you. See how the tine or disc copes with your land.
Don’t get hung up on drills though spend more time on the mindset.

I’ve neighbours running tine and disc drills

currently favouring the tine drill system so will start there.

Horsch Co have weaker tine springs than the Sprinter but are O.K.
Vos opener would be the way I would go as it is vary versatile on which width point you can put on and they do a ready made adapter for the Co/Sprinter tine.
Row spacing is 25cm.
Narrow point less ground disturbed easier to pull better for Co spring but wider row spacing.
3" / 4"point will give you narrower row spacing a lot of ground movement and a lot harder pull.

For pricing of Vos points try Stuart he Knows his stuff on a lot of wearing parts including VOS. [email protected]

I've got a 3m moore i might be interested in selling if thats any use. New discs and bearings and coulters with an accord hopper on with hydraulic fan

Thanks for the offer, I think Dad would struggle to get a 3m through his gateways! Did Moore ever make a end tow version of the box drill?

Did you get yourself sorted with a Moore? as I know of one just down the road from you, does need a bit of attention though.
