Taken the day he dropped it off. Went for a little play. Guttler front tines yeah.

We looked at getting front times but tried a cheepo option instead first. Yours is a lovely setup. Do the front tines make a big difference? Do you use them all the time?

There good but a think you've got to play about with the whole machine to get it set up right. Sometimes things are still too hard to make enough tilth on top. We only had rear at first but everything needed done twice nearly and got fed up and geoffrey wox convinced us when we were vunruble last year. If a new reseed into a ploughed field I dont use them but do for working ploughing with power harrow behind.

 

[Devon lad]

I definitely agree they do take s bit of setting up, with rear only we struggled with hard dry ground

How do mean with setting up , angle most aggressive raise roller to add pressure???
Reason thinking about one

Yeah basically. Just trail and error really. Like a said we raised the roller up 1 hole where its attached to the harrow unit and that made a massive difference to the machine. Now puts more weight onto the tines. The front heavier tines alter seperate which we altered the angle so they were straighter which made them rip ground up more. Just played around with it. Also got some new longer style tines to replace 1 day but havent used them yet

 

[Devon lad]

Agree with all of above. Rear tines also need adjusting dependant on trash as well.

Did you adjust the front ripper board angle yourself? We have always thought it would be more aggressive if it was at a steeper angle like yours

Looks a great set up. What area can you cover in a good day, on Grass to Grass. What amount of seed are you using per acre ? Or is a lot of it getting a feel for it, with what the conditions are like? Would you go wider or you think 3m is ideal?
Currently looking at such a machine, could really improve are grass production and keep costs down with not having to plough as often

Any advice appreciated [emoji106]

 

[Devon lad]

With front attachment it is a true 1 pass machine. 4-5 acres/hr once set up.18kg/acre seed rate to compensate for pests, on grass to grass full reseed. 3m is wide enough on our hilly ground also, drill is pretty heavy because of roller. I don't use it much but used it the other day to patch up some tanker ruts and was amazed at how much tilth the front disc generated, we might fit some front depth wheels

Yeah. Just 10 minute job. Does make it a little more aggressive for when ground is harder

Bumping this up how are sown fields lasting , are you happy with it ,got this system back to do more ?

And again please?

 

[CWS]

And again please?

Last year with it raining from August and still hasnt given up not had the greatest success. Full reseed did better. But then again nothing was going to thrive under water

What diffrences are there on the guttler compared to the other similar machines?? Like the dales seeder roller,dalbo grassmaster or he-va rejuvenator will they all make a similar job??

They're all variations on the same theme. Some people prefer the slot seeders though.

Has anybody seen 1 or is using 1? Looking into getting 1 but only ever seen them on youtube or parked up at shows. Look good strong machines and ideal for the job we need it for but there not cheap and the more info about them the better. thanks.

Have a look at the following:-

What are the rate settings for the electric fan seeder box when looking to set clover ?5kg/ha

 

[Galcam]

What is the difference between using a rear mounted guttler and a power Harrow with seed box and packer roller?
