Metcalfe points drilling OSR

[average farmer]

Has anyone used the metcalfe freeflow point for drilling OSR?

Thinking of growing a bit this year and wondering what the best way to plant it might be . Want it to be a one pass operation + rolling if possible. Other options would be seeder of the back of the top down or buy something.

Not on a freeflow but have the metcalfe point on a sprinter and drilled osr this year. Came up lovely. If you’re not in a pigeon/csfb area I think it would be ideal. If you have your full compliment of coulters in the freeflow I’d make sure you bale and cut stubble short. Tried with my freeflow once and it was like a buckrake.

i think they’re spaced 6 and a bit inches over 3 rows. We made the frame ourselves and fitted it to a old mini flow hopper . Was thinking about removing every other tine .

For some reason I’ve deleted them from my phone. If I ever use it I’ll get some pics.
