Are these available to retrofit or just proto types? And is anyone trying them this season?
Because Duetts are the work of the devil.Why use solos rather than duetts? Won't solos put the seed too deep?
Because I think cultivator drills are an absurd idea. Also the back of the shoe is angled downwards so it smears the soil.I'm curious about your "work of the devil" comment. What don't you like about them? I've never found too much of an issue with them personally.
I can see your point about lifting the drill up a bit. I was assuming that the solos would be run at the depth of putting the seed outlet underground, but I guess it could be run above.
Are they a genuine Horsch part, if not what are they?Speak to Mike Metcalfe of JJ Metcalfle and son,been using these this year and so far I have no regrets ,very low disturbance and fantastic wear resistance.View attachment 197048 View attachment 197046
they do look very tasty. Basically a Dale/Seedhawk conversion?Are they a genuine Horsch part, if not what are they?

How much?They are made by JJ Metcalfe & Son,
They replace the deuett foot with a tine with a replaceable tungsten tip,the same tip is used on the seedhawk fert and seed legs which they also make.View attachment 200640
They look pretty good & better for trash flow? Will you be using them for direct seeding wheat as well?As I don't pay the bills I don't know but I know they are a lot cheaper than the Horsch point or the Vadarstad seedhawk points.
So far we have covered 354ha with the seedhawk and that was at the point in time the photo above was taken.
Looks like a good conversion for our sprinter then, better design than the solo?O yes DD cover crops and DD OSR which went very well,we will drill wheat through the cover crops and winter beans through cover crops.
I was just debating whether to put the bourghault fittings on our sprinter to have a choice of point width, but sounds like it might be better to just go for that narrow tine option for everything DD!We are very pleased with it,we have gone from duett to Bougaut but these tines are very low disturbance and so very low fuel use,with lower running costs we must be on a winner.just tell Mike Metcalfe you found out from Belchamp Farm Services he will love us for it !!!
