The plastic press wheels can break on stones, and lose their tyres.. although they do mean that you hardly need to roll afterwards. The harrow tines seem strong enough. And yes the front hopper is heavy, a 3t Wilson linkage won't lift it full.
Used on a 7624 - 240hp? - on ligh-tish soil. I think the previous 6495 was only just enough.

Does the rollers ever do harm, by rolling the seed in wet conditions?

Min till situation it’s fine in decent conditions but not really it’s gig, the 150mm Coulter spacing will be best. I find that tine wear is more in mintill situation than Plough based but obviously that is power Harrow not the drill
