Lots of lemkens around here and they make a very tidy job. I’ve got a Kuhn and don’t really like it.

Allways have box drills and know em inside out.nice and simple with ground drive wheel for metering.only advantage for pneumatic is easier to clean out and more seed used before stopping to refil.

Yes BUT,,not with the power harrow, you need the KG rotary CULTIVATOR with the tines set the proper way around. One pass on ploughing, direct into stubble or into stone why.
My 32nd season with one. Box drill with rotec discs and the roller with separate ridges, Must have the following harrow set right though. Oh, and a camera set up to watch whats left in the box.
Oh, and a strip led light stuck under the rim to light inside the box for the cameras.

Before you start, get some ferobide tiles off Captain slack and weld them onto your tines, last me years.
what sort of power would be needed?
3m or 4m?

It’s the lifting rather than powering.I currently use mine on a Deere 7710 which is master of the job or a 6620 which copes just as well.had a 4 metre demo years ago on a Deere 6800 which also coped admirably.even had a 3 metre on a 6400 which was ok too.seems everyone needs about 100 plus HP than what’s needed these days but if only big tractors are available that’s what’s used

Started off with the just power cultivator in 1991 on my IH 684, put tb turbo on for more puff, but could barely lift it, Same antares 100 next, lift combi easy, light tractor loads of power , unfortunatly with all the weight on the back and front it errrmm snapped the tracor in hallf, up to a Puma 175 now, very overkill really.
what sort of £££

You'll start a fight asking that...
Anyway, there seems to be no love for Pottinger combination drills. Amazone certainly were popular for a long time?

I’d go for an Amazone Centaya.
It also has the ability to easily change the cultivator under it, so you could swap the power Harrow for discs or springtines if you wish, easily.
Other brands probably also offer this
