Is there any direct type disc drill that can be compared to the cross slot type inverted T opener to avoid hair pinning?
You've lost me?Pillar Lasers? @tw15
It's a double angled disc, so it pulls itself into the ground.Just looked at the link thanks.
I don't suppose you know what sort of pressure can be applied per coulter?
Heavy clay soils here that can get hard when very dry.
They say it moves less than a tine and more than a disc, which I think is fair.Looks as tho it may move quite a lot of soil.
Anyone seen one in the flesh?

I recognise that a good rotation is important but you cannot always help the amount of residue left. Eg having to cut low to gather laid/lodged crops and baling straw is not always a option on heavy clay land as the compaction left by big balers and chasers can ruin a otherwise healthy soil.
Tines are great but move far to much soil increasing blackgrass and in heavy trash and lots of chopped straw blocking up is always a issue I have found.
Sharp discs help. I dont recognise it as a problem to be honest
Careful of the tail wagging the dog (this could go either way)as Jim says the best solution is rotational and not mechanical
