[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7810737, member: 156006"] With a 12 metre drill 250 acres a day would be a steady speed. My fields are large and 30acres an hour is decent going. As said filling is the critical thing to achieve a good daily average. When man power is available we use a drill fill. Two hoppers with 8 inch augers direct into the air cart. Enough seed and phosphate for 100 acres in 7 minutes. Quick check for any problems,a whiz and back at it. I seed for various neighbours for 20 an acre. But at that I expect a couple days of driving at harvest time from them. Works good for me as they feel obligated to help when normally they’d be happy to go fishing. I won’t drill anyone’s until mine is done. Ever. [/QUOTE]
