I have just bought one off a forum member and looking to direct drill some but not all the spring barley with it. We farm some reasonably fertile sandy land away from the farm, it was winter wheat last year and has had some cattle running on the stubble over winter. Going to spray it off and hopefully drill straight into it. How deep should I run the leading leg bearing in mind cattle have been on the stubble, what drill share would you recommend and should I use the press wheels or not bother with them just roll?
And when to start drilling, not too early with the claydon?
Thanks in advance, advice and experiences welcome.
