Horsch CO / Sprinter row width

[Banana Bar]

I read on Twitter recently that early Sprinter 6 metre drills were on a spacing on 250mm, is this true? I know the CO is 250mm but the newest one of those I can find is 15yrs. I feel that 250mm is the widest I should go for cereals ( and I have concerns at that width).

I have a 2015 sprinter st6 on 250mm. Think they moved to 27mm the next year.

Mine is 250mm, think its a 2014

How do you rate it as a machine? I am looking at direct/tine drills but it will need to cope with the wet seasons that we seem to be getting more frequently, I like the look of the new Weaving Sabre Tine. The Kverneland ST looks like a good drill but not suitable for direct drilling.
We have a couple of Case Puma tractors, 160 and 165 so what width too.
Any other suggestions.

Similarly Dale drills

The new 6m Sprinter has increased to 272mm and the 4m to 285mm, they dropped 2 tines on each model. I think the 12 m sprinters are on 305mm as well

I reckon the value of CO's on 250mm must be rising daily !!

This an attempt at cost saving we assume?

I guess it must be along reducing HP requirements a bit maybe?

And trash flow capability

Ah.....so in that case the price will go up!
