[QUOTE="alomy75, post: 7676475, member: 78520"] Thoroughly happy with the drill/coulters; it’s been a game changer and got us a 50ac field drilled last back end that I wouldn’t have moved in with the freeflow. Offset change on the guide wheels has helped enormously but I have also fitted slightly longer coulters behind the tractor wheels (off the shelf at metcalfe; 1” longer) to try and improve emergence and this is noticeably better now in the spring crops (didn’t have them for autumn drilled). Spring beans look awesome after it. Dd spring wheat ok but highlighted how unlevel the seedbed was. A level seedbed is of paramount importance with it; especially when drilling shallow. Mine’s a 4m behind a 75. It doesn’t know it’s there; even on beans at 4”. 6930 or 150hp would be ample. I wager even my 6430 would pull it drilling cereals. With this and probably any direct drill you need to watch the tractor wheelings when it’s anything other than perfectly dry. I’ve wired up the crawler to pull it if we have another wet back end. Following this year the discaerator will be staying in the shed after harvest; I have made up a low disturbance subsoiler that I will do headlands/tramlines with and then straight in with the Sprinty. If the combine sinks too much may do whole fields. [/QUOTE]
