Not a lot.

But its a bit mad to think they are the only option in that kind of range.

Agrisem Tri o sem, Virkar Dynamic DC or Sumo DTS are all quite similar

Virkar looks good but a long way from cheap.

Absolutely my view too, but most of them fit that mantra.
I'm not a fan of the wheels running on drilled ground either.

Triosem looks good, but there isn't much of a dealer network, closed one to me says he hasn't done much with them either - though the drilling principle ticks a lot of boxes.
I'm currently looking at staying with dry fert for spuds (mostly for logistical reasons) and using the same tank to feed a Sumo DTS toolbar in a few years.

The DTS is not low disturbance nor easily pulled!

Lots of second hand Moore Unidrills around. It depends on your budget.

But then we are going to discs rather than a tine, which in my head is more versatile.

 

[Brisel]

You wanted low disturbance... There is a whole big debate about disc vs tine.

 

[snarling bee]

Weaving sabre tine?

I had every intention of buying a 3m Simtec box drill but due to my own ineptitude in ordering so late they won't be able to get me one in time for the grant. Is there an equivalent that's worth considering? Do Duncan have a UK dealership?

Even at 3.4 k it wouldn't be a bargain imo.
Trying to cash in on the upward curve of a new trend i reckon .
