Bought a 3m freeflow with metcalfe points on in June. Drill was 250 miles away even though Metcalfes are only 3 miles away. :(
Drilled 30 acres 3rd barley in dry conditions mid Sept.
120hp at 1200rpm 5.5kph.
I might have to look into replacing the spring legs if I want to go any faster. I broke 3.

Had a set on a 4m Freeflow, only drilled OSR direct, easy working land but did break a few, biggest headache for me was uneven drilling depth, but that was due to the drill, not the Metcalfs.
