[QUOTE="jh., post: 6767381, member: 527"] Keep getting told it'll never work up here but I'm convinced it will be the direction we get forced down in coming years. Cover crops after harvest might not get sown until mid to late September, is this too late to get a decent stand going into winter ? Spring crops later drilled into colder wetter seedbeds than down south . Combine wheeling deeper in the early years since being ploughed since forever. The crop residues a good bit wetter too causing the 2 Simon's theory ? , plus keeping ground colder in the spring ? Lots of hills , stones and very variable soils to deal with . I don't think tines will work as well on hillsides due to "crabbing and soil throw" so discs with short working zones make most sense imo . I do like idea of inverted T of novag and cross slot for the heavier ground but maybe a single disc like 750 or avatar will travel better in the variable conditions of the hills ? Starter fert probably a must. Searches don't bring up much for Scotland . How would the DDers try and make a go of it up here and stand a chance . [/QUOTE]
