Disc drill from Sumo

[SilliamWhale]

Would be interesting to see what recent buyers on here have ordered on theirs?

Well obviously if I you wanted fert you have to spec up your own system but beyond that I'd say they're pretty much ready to go from new. Putting a guttler on is the same as fitting a twin tine kit for a Claydon really - an adaptation.

Most of needhams stuff either suits older drills or drills that have done a lot of work so its just another place to get upgrades. The only thing you'd need to do to a new one is closing wheels.

Not sure parts spoken of are options from JD but rather "extras" from elsewhere.

Am I correct in thinking Claydon do a strip til drill with fert capability?

All of the main strip till manufacturers do now.

If they perform as well as each other the choice for a lot of people will be an easy one between a British made drill with support at the end of the phone and a drill it's manufacturer has forgotten it makes.

I'm a bit worried about the angled depth wheel. The man on the stand at LAMMA said it had to rub up against the disc otherwise mud got in the gap and jammed it up. Sounds good until the tyre wears a bit...?!

I did wonder why it was angled. How does the depth wheel work with the disc on a JD ?

It sits flush up against the disc

The angled wheel was the thing that stuck in my mind as looking a bit suspect.

Another thing I read is that the disc is angled at 5 degrees. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but as pretty much everything else uses 7 degrees it would be interesting to see if it makes a difference.

Moore Unidrill was 3 degrees so it's halfway.

That must hardly make any slot at all?

Is that the newer type of the grass drill ?

Look,
wasn't is explained correctly that the design was mainly the result of avoiding patent infringements?
So the angle might be one of it, also the way the depth wheel is placed.
Now, why are there after market parts of the wheel for the JD750, which are open and not closed?
Topic was discussed here several times.
The good with the JD750 is that it keeps the dedicated farmer involved in trieyng regularly some new things. Which is good for the economy.
Keeps the farmer occupied. = all are happy.
Noting more dangerous than a farmer which has tooo much time as he might start to think about topics he ought not to think about. ;-)

The JD patent must be very close to running out now if it hasn't already?
