Just been speaking to a few people over the last couple weeks about a 3m drill to work across a mixed farm, so cereal, cover crops, fodder crops, stewardship and a bit of grass.
Now the grant numbers are out, if I am right, its £12,054 contribution toearsd the drill..
Net prices are as follows:
Erth Agriseeder 24 row with 750l hopper: £10.9k
Simtech TSum - 300 20 row: £19.9k
Moore Unidril 24 Row with tramlining: £16k
Having talked to users of each there are obviousl pros and cons to each drill.
The Simtech seems to be the best spec'd and I like the tine, not so sure about th 20 row set up though.
Erth is a good basic drill and having spoken to the designer he sounds very switch on, just not seen one in the flesh
Moore is a disc set up, not sure how that will work in a wide range of conditions compared to a tine drill. Like the guttler though and seems well built.
Soil type is sandy with a few spots of clay, very very few stones, But soil is very abrasive.
The Erth seems a cheap drill but is the Simtech worth the premium?
