No till coulters on a combine header?

[Wombat]

The best way to get a lot of weeds for free is to use a rotavator, for every weed they kill another 100 will grow behind a rotavator.....blackgrass heaven !!!

The best way to get f@cked up heavy land is to use a rotavator, work of the god damed devil. Smear the soil to hell making it impervious to water, job done, boating/skating lake, perfect

If you're drilling a second wheat just feed it straight back out of the combine tank!

I think it has been done in the past by a German company...possibly Guttler or one of the other small seeder manufacturers. They had a row of Accord disc coulters mounted on the back of Claas header. I had a photo of the set-up but I can't just find it at the moment..
But a good idea.

Jim,
you are absolutly right. They did you a sort of pipe in front of the Guettler wheel. Best, constant results but still a no brainer as tooo complicated for farmers. At least that is what I can see as only reason.
Too cheap as well, so who is interested in a cheap solution?

just ask Guettler for some pictures. There might be some on the internet.
found one, unfortunately in German: http://www.guettler.de/uni2.htm
they are even using the Guettler for terminating the cover crop.

sorry, use the Rotavator the correct way and it's not a black gras heaven. Have done, got the T shirt.

if using black seed autocast then the poor establishment fields or high weed levels spray off and dd this may have hair pin risks but could be a better compromise than a combined drill harvester even though it would be impressive to see a 10.5m harvester drill combination !

Many thanks York for your reply... I couldn't find any pictures and the project had been taken off the Guttler website. For planting cover crops I think the concept is worth further investigation especially for those of us who do not get our wheat harvest completed until mid-August or later..
