I know theres similar threads out there but i thought i'd ask is there anyone out there using a george moate tillerstar for carrots or parsnips? and is it any good?
I'm just getting a bit annoyed with our system as there is so many passes before getting a seed in the ground: plough, powerharrow with moulding boards attached, destone, and bedform and seed. when using gps (greenstar sf3) after so many passes it can throw the ab line out a fair bit by the end of it which kind of defeats the purpose of using gps on all the passes, including through to harvesting.
I just thought if i could use a tillerstar and cut down the amount of passes needed i might solve this problem and save few $. Our soils are silt loam with no stones, it can be fairly heavy when damp.
cheers
