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

Not on 24m tramlines 5x4.8=244.8 is an even number
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.On my fields that I was happy with the position of the tramlines I drilled at an angle and didn’t bother putting new tramlines in. I don’t have auto steer on the sprayer but last spring I could still faintly see the old tramlines to follow
Fair enough, I must read these prescriptions more closely! I might upgrade my 4m direct drill in that caseYou can buy a 4.8m drill and claim the rate for the 3m one. Likewise you can buy a 12m Avatar but only claim the 6m drill grant.
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?also... currently no price list increases except losing out of season on both at the end of this month!

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.Which is in effect, a price increase by the back door, is it not?

So when is 'out of season' then James?Out-of-season happens like clockwork every year, not just because there is a grant coming in.

For the drills I mentioned above, its usually placing an order in September-NovemberSo when is 'out of season' then James?
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 seasonFor the drills I mentioned above, its usually placing an order in September-November
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.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 always used to be a carrot to keep the order book fullNot 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.
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.Out of season always used to be a carrot to keep the order book full
I've just had a look around your website, and followed your link to Triton's, and watched a few of the videos.Hi, if you want to get in touch please visit our website! We would be glad to help, many thanks. https://www.tritondrillsales.co.uk/
If you liked that you need to discover the Triton thread on hereI'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.
I'm probably blocked from it...If you liked that you need to discover the Triton thread on here

Is Lee on commission?
i think the whole point of the triton is that is is quite effective in those bad conditionsI've just had a look around your website, and followed your link to Triton's, and watched a few of the videos.

That doesn't make mauling crops into a smeary wet mess a good ideai think the whole point of the triton is that is is quite effective in those bad conditions
