4.8 is an even numberIt doesbut only 4 times which means it’s a bit tricky drilling the headland tramline
Odd number makes it much easier.

This the reason I had auto steer fitted to the sprayer, after several years of cross drilling and no tramlines, by spring in many field I could no longer see the permanent t lines.

Fair enough, I must read these prescriptions more closely! I might upgrade my 4m direct drill in that case
Which is in effect, a price increase by the back door, is it not? Surely Dec, Jan, June & July are the out of season months?

Out-of-season happens like clockwork every year, not just because there is a grant coming in. They are to try and encourage dealers to carry stock for the coming season to take the pressure off the manufacturers, we usually get the choice of whether delivery is Jan/Feb or June/July but I think this year it will be simply "it arrives when it arrives" with components shortages. Usually these delivery slots line up with manufacturers slack periods, as we in the UK are only a small proportion of their trade, with the whole of Europe having varying seasons, like the south of Spain will be vastly different to eastern Europe and different again in northern Europe, and it all depends on what other machines their factories produce that may have different busy periods.
So when is 'out of season' then James?

For the drills I mentioned above, its usually placing an order in September-November

Which I guess does seem odd in that its the busy season working these machines, but it usually means delivery is out of the busy season
Not with long build lead times. Most machines are 4-10 months lead time. Out of season is to help with forward ordering of key components.
Out of season always used to be a carrot to keep the order book full
It still is, Its also to keep factory running at peak if possible. Sadly Covid has made things tricky with core parts. But hey, such is life and we are all finding new ways to adapt.
I've just had a look around your website, and followed your link to Triton's, and watched a few of the videos.
Do you have any pics/vids that show anything more than rarving great tractors dragging what looks like a cultivator through wet clag? ie a camera sat on a drill frame in action, or some detailed shots of seed placement or slot closure? A trench dug cross over the rows showing a cross section of what is happening underground after a month or so of bad weather after being drilled in claggy conditions would show us much more about what can be achieved than endless drone videos of big fuel guzzling tractors chewing on in inclement conditions.

Triton seem rather crude (the machine) to me. Have a friend who has one but it hasn’t all been plain sailing. Not sure I could cope with what it looks like when it’s coming up.
i think the whole point of the triton is that is is quite effective in those bad conditions
That doesn't make mauling crops into a smeary wet mess a good idea

I’d be worried about the drainage trench left by the tine would fill with water and rot the seed.if I had one here and using in less than perfect conditions the trench would smear and no allow water to drain away
