This year we claydon drilled headlands first but 2 preveusly drilled them last and they look brilliant this year but it was dry what does every one else do with which drill
That was the result of doing them first, not mine I might add.Are u not tempted to do them first I think it looks a bit bare tbh
I suppose thats the difference between a tine and disc drill.Drill them first
You will get trash etc build up on headlands if u do them first and as said if bit damp will compact when turning then cut after.
We made mistake this yr of chopping some straw!
Never again
Don't care what value it puts back in ground if conditions not right will cause untold problems.
We had to rake fields 3 times after drillin to try level the chopped straw.
Admittedly perhaps should been drilled 3 weeks earlier when dry but as puttin barley behind wheat and drillin 2 nd wheats waited longer.
Land drilled perfectly just keeps blocking and there would been serious mess on headlands if drilled last.
Crossed the field at angle which stopped most blocking but still left heaps wet chopped straw.
Didn't get to rake all of it behind combine but doesn't seem to make diff if raked or not.
Out new local Claydon dealer was out yesterday pricing up 15 m rake!!
Good thing with new Claydon dealers are they'll take summin diff in px like a weaving rake!!
