[QUOTE="Hammer, post: 6621948, member: 1650"] Hi [USER=14178]@Flintstone[/USER] I'm happy that you've managed to get some great looking crops in. But... I've been using a Claydon for 9 years now and can say that if you truly are on heavy soils and have had significant rainfall this autumn, it matters not if you complied with your listed 3 reasons or not. I switched to a twin tine kit on the Claydon 4 years ago as on clays its was extremely unusual to be able to create enough tilth to cover seed after the wide shares, and more often than not, they would smear, even in a dry year. I have been very happy with the drill in this configuration and I have managed to get about 2/3s of our planned wheat area drilled, which I don't think I could with many other drills, but it is far from pretty and time will tell if it comes ok. I agree with your sentiment, but it is fairly sweeping statement that simply is not valid in all situations. This was the last chance I had a couple of days ago and yes I maybe shouldn't have even been in the field but it shows what the drill can cope with... [MEDIA=youtube]YxHs0IUY0uY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
