ERTH Agriseeder vs Simtech TS Grass 300

[Derrick Hughes]

Is the 24 row spacings the same as a one pass grain drill

24 is 125 mm 32 is 94 mm

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Direct drill imo is-all about ground preparation and setting up and very little do do with the choice of machine
Im sure we have all made mistakes . I know i have .
Im happy to learn from my mistakes and carry on . But some may say its no flipping use and not go there again

From a contractors point cross drilling takes too long unless the farmer is willing to pay 90 an acre which is getting expensive,also now the trials are Don that there is no decrease in yeild whether rows or broadcast ,and also trials done in Moore park say that the cows intake is better when grass is in rows something to do with the tongue action

£90 per hectare I assume?

I agree it makes the job too expensive for most to consider, but I wouldn’t like to do it once, whether 24 row or 32 rows in 3m. I’m more concerned about the space left for weed ingress, rather than yield increases.

90 per acre versus 50 for single pass

Crikey! That’s around double what anyone over here charges.

That's the standard price they all charge ,James would know more ,its50 euro incl vat at 13.5

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Its from £25 to £27 acre in this area and plenty to do it at that

I’m €60 per acre or if it’s over 15 acres I’ll do it for €50.

I was led to believe that grass in rows as you say had no detriment to yield when cutting but when grazing a broadcasting gave a denser sward and so increased yields marginally.

The rows fill in the first year.

Thats the field this morning drilled just over a-Month back

Aye often with weed grass, why take the risk?

Time I emigrated, should be used to the rain

That looks well ,a good hit is all your stiched gras as good as that grass that's sowed with a one pass grain drill stays in rows for a few years and I don't see any weeds and as regards yeild new grass in rows or not still bulks a lot better than what it replaced,the reason I was thinking of the 32 row is that it would look better because the mindset of the farmers around here is that rows mean less yeild ,if there was such a difference in yeild then every farmer would sow their corn by broadcasting ,do most of your customers go 15 kgs

Time I emigrated, should be used to the rain

Come on over

14kg to 15kg yes
I go even more on my own farm . Done some at 18kg a Month back

The one acre bags are sold here with only 11 kg in them , not enough .

thats an overseeding acre not a complete reseed

It’s very good , no trash to be seen , was it mowed clean or grazed.

Mowed regrowth sprayed then grazed

Both erth and Moore do 24 and 32 row 3metre drills is there any advantage of 32 over 24

No problems with penetration with 24 row even in dry going,now have 800kg of weights on 32row plus weight of drill plus seed so now need a ton on the front to keep her down on banks.
