Horsch Sprinter

[marks]

I have got a 2016 Horsch sprinter 4 mtr drill running on duet coulters , I have got to buy some bean coulters for the drill and as the original metal is getting worn I was thinking of going for the Dutch opener setup . what would be the best point setup for cereals , osr and spring beans .

1” for beans, wider ones for cereals (5” open backed ones or 2.5” if you want less disturbance) use either for osr.

Looking at doing exactly the same here & also going to look at bougalt stuff as seems possibly easier to change between points - I’m told despite having just a roll pin to change on Dutch it still takes 2-3 hrs to change a 6m set as it’s awkward to get hammer swing etc?
Also if this is the case maybe easier & cheaper to get some solos for beans & osr & keep duetts for cereals?
Apparently the 1” Dutch can block with beans aswell?
Not sure what depth you can get with 1” or 2” Dutch compared to solos either ?
Confused!!

What width are these?

How deep can you run them?

I can change a set on a 12m sprinter (42 points I think) in about 2-3 hours
