How did this go in the end?

 

[average farmer]

It’s all together now and ready to go but not drilled anything with it yet . Might try a few oats as a cover crop this backend,

Did you use it in the end?

 

[average farmer]

No, did everything with the vaddy but still got 100 acres or so that could go in if we can get on . I’ve been trying to talk my dad into using it on the crawler while I’m spraying .

That would be awesome; no paddling round the ends…no wheel marks…

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.
