[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7870499, member: 54866"] I agree the claydon moves a lot of dirt- which is probably why it works so well down here as it is wet and soil movement cheats by artificially loosening soil so water can get away and not drown the crop. So it's not really a no-till drill in the conventional sense I admit but it does work very well and is definitely kinder to soil and your pocket. I suspect if you did it for long enough or had the right soil type to begin with you would probably get enough seed to soil contact and tilth generated that no rolling would be necessary. I am not familiar with all the other drills out there these days, if they can achieve more with less disturbance and horsepower I would be all in favour. For me the jury is out on the blackgrass, down here the get out clauses are rotation and ploughing and if you lose a battle grassing it down for several years is no huge issue because there is so much livestock about. Where I saw a claydon used we have very manageable blackgrass levels, certainly you would rogue it out very readily and I could still control it with the available chemistry. [/QUOTE]
