Kuhn/Lemkin 4m Combi Disc Drill

[Fergieman]

Looking for pro/cons for Kuhn and Lemkin combi disc drills.

14 rotors V 16 rotors?
Short seed delivery pipes and 4 distrubution heads V 1 distrubution head and some very long delivery pipes?
Packer rollers etc

What are peoples experiences of them both?

Tines for the lemken are expensive. Always seemed to drag a hell of a lot of soil infront of it compared to the maschio. Awkward to change seals on as you could only get into the bed from the end. And the drill is heavy ours was a 3m oneit did a hell of a job though and a tidy one as well. No real issues with the drill just not so keen on the power harrows.
There's plenty of new style kuhn combi units around me now and they seem to be doing a good job.

Kuhn if your in stones less rotors so stones get through easier.

Lemken for heavy ground more rotors will work it down better .

We're on 4th kuhn venta now had NC , LC then pre production model of current drill .

There's nothing perfect but it does a good job in most soil types and conditions. No problems whatsoever with seed pipe length. Hopper easier emptied from what I'm told than a lemken I know someone with a lemken and kuhn accord and he uses the accord for game plots as he's changing seed a lot and says it's easier than the lemken but I've no personal experience of this

4m lemken can fold rear mounted Kuhn cannot ,biggest selling point for me I think

Horsch combi? Very similar to Kuhn PH but has the horsch seeder/coulters

Horsch are wide spacing only but will be a good outfit.

Meant to say that the kuhn has a better stagger on the coulters than the lemken so will still go in worse conditions than the equivalent lemken on the narrower spacing.
