[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4736578, member: 348"] I have been using it for drilling cereals DD and into cultivated ground (roll first if too loose), swedes DD and cultivated (stale seedbed), stubble turnips DD into cereal stubble, ‘bird seed’ covers DD and grass seed into cultivated ground and overseeding into existing swards. Beet has always been drilled with a precision drill, but only to leave the option open for lifting if not needed for grazing. I’ll likely drill a grazing beet field with it in the Spring though, if only to try it. I only have one tractor, a JD 6920, so it goes on that. It doesn’t need that much HP topull it, but you need a bit of weight to be the boss of a fair lump of drill IMO. It is well built, which obviously makes for weight sticking out the back. For what I want, it’s a superb drill and incredibly flexible. I’ve just bought a new one the same, and didn’t even consider any others tbh.(y) A lot of money for what is effectively a Spring tine with a seed box on though..... [/QUOTE]
