That was all I could find on Google Images :facepalm:

:LOL::LOL:

50 years or so ago (autumn of 1968) we successfully covered in all our broadcast seed, some twice over, with our TM55 pulling a whippletree with 2 5x4ft No 8 Parmiter trailed sections = 12m.

Couldn't find that on Google, either.

drags like in Brisels pic , consolidate where as spring tines lift , which helps drainage afterwards, spring tines work cleaner in damper and bit trashy soils a swell.

Quite so, Bury the Trash.

But you might try to try to see the obverse.

The adverse conditions for your crops which you describe are exactly what everyone else here is hoping for to occur in order to get them out of trouble.
Indeed Bankrupt and actually i could do with some of that for other reason as well ;) as long as its not too hard a frost ...:D

..........now then, where's the antifreeze for the sprayer.....:unsure:

I still stand by the point that they cannot possible know anybody has broadcast anything unless they actually see them doing it and catch them.

My drilled Wheat looks board cast, until the rain washed soil around the seeds.
The little bit that’s drilled that is.
