I've been over some marl with the carrier and aim to drill it with the claydon but it will need a second pass. Its bloody hard on top in places.First field of barley in at home in great conditions, went to second field and dropped the mzuri into some marl and not quite so pretty. Pulled out and fetched the carrier, chop the crust up and the drill goes well. Looks like a quick pass over the marl areas but not to far in front of the drill.
Did some power harrowing to break the crust. Seemed to be working well. Two inches of iron over slop.
Then, it all got a bit exciting. One of my nicer fields, which I packed in ploughing mid September as it was too hard, felt my wrath. I spent a fair bit of time finding and cleaning drains, and digging the ditches, and while it wasn't pretty, I did this.
Hmmm did the quad track cope with the plough

The steel packer. Did you run over with the carrier first as well?What type of rear packer does your Carrier have? I've been using mine to roll cloddier fields with the discs up. Seed to soil contact has been great.

I need to create some tilth for the seed, the carrier is a must before the claydon and I will also run the power harrow over one 25 acre field at least were the carrier struggled to cut in.Occasionally, on heavier ground just to reduce clod size
Pleased to see that, I've set up to have a go with the Unidrill Saturday ?View attachment 868042View attachment 868045
direct drilled on some clay today, unidrill. Actually wasn’t too bad. Used up some seed. Will see how it compares to ploughed land.
