Good drills .simple to use and cheaper to run than a lot of the strip till and disc set ups.
Mintill, dd and conventional

Co are older and use the twin vertical springs to keep pressure on the coulter. The sprinter is a much beefier frame and mostly use heavier duty multi grip tines with higher break back force. Front tyre packers are an option on sprinters. I swapped to sprinter from co so I can direct drill in some conditions. It’s heavier and the rear packer can compact the headlands if too wet.

@solo said it. We also switched to sprinter from co. Horsch also shallowed the angle of coulters to make them easier to pull. We actually ended up with two coulter bolting on positions for original or easy pull.
Co’s were an Agtron control box as were first Sprinters

Overall they’re brilliant drills, very versatile and well built. Seed depth isn’t very precise but that has never bothered me.

I have an early model sprinter which has the twin spring like the COs on the leg. Never given me any bother though as it’s on 1 inch points.
