[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 7184498, member: 11374"] There’s nothing wrong with the Duet coulter, they work absolutely fine in every system except DD. Their only problem is they need a bit more upkeep than the overly expensive replacements from Bourgault and Dutch. The advice we were given by my CO’s original operator 8 seasons ago was to make sure you could see occasional flashes of yellow from the plastic side plates, which meant it was deep enough but not too deep. As long as you’ve got 35mm of soil cover for the pre-em it’s about right on the money. If you’re worried about seed in the slot then I wonder what speed your sowing at (10-11k here) and if the triangular base plates are getting a little worn so it’s not leaving a level bed for the seed to land in. The ‘classic shank’ on the CO and earlier ST’s didn’t maintain depth well in firm ground, leading to more seed being thrown around at shallower depths or on top. Later ST leg sorted that out. Edit: beaten by Solo on the base plates above... [/QUOTE]
