[QUOTE="jh., post: 7596505, member: 527"] Pre Christmas ploughing gives us our best spring crops here . Last 2 winters have been so wet , we haven't managed this even with 200hp on a 4 furrow . Spring ploughing bakes out and leads to very patchy emergence no matter how well we think we time passes . Last year a claydon demo with tines gave a very good spring barley emergence and crop but brackled at harvest . Got them back and paid for a 2nd demo this year with twin tine demo and once again looks great but is a nightmare for stones requiring a dump trailer to lift them . A direct horsch avatar demo got off to a tremendous start with probably the most even emergence of any but has now suffered we've had rain and wheelings from last harvest really showing up now . It was only able to drill at about 4 or 5kph to get penetration . Where I've mintilled soils I couldn't get winter ploughed , I'm happy with emergence and crop so far but broad leaf weeds and meadow grass have taken off , so not sure how good it would be long term [/QUOTE]
