I made this bean drill 10 to 15 years ago using a McConnel Shakerator that we already had & an old Massey seed drill that was lying in a hedge virtually on a neighbours farm that we got for doing some hedge cutting for them. The funnels, the seed pipes & the lights were the only things that were bought, all the steel was from stuff lying around. The drill is removable.
It works very well, the 1st pic I used a Sumo Trio first & then levelled afterwards with a power harrow on 6/11/20 and the second pic was just the drill & no levelling as it was getting too wet by then on the 11/11/20
