[QUOTE="clbarclay, post: 7707718, member: 6671"] I haven't tried a Horizon alas, but currently have an older caddy GD. The style of undercut is quite different between the two. The GD doesn't dig like the Horizon is meant to and actually needs a fair bit of weight on the discs to penetrate, like most disc drills. I had a mounted GD demo when they first came out and decided then that if I got one it would need to be a trailed version, to make sure there could be enough weight on the discs without unbalancing the tractor too much. I expect the current trailed versions are better than the caddy. The trouble with the caddy is the discs are right at the back and the drills center of mass is quite a way Infront of them. The drill can get plenty of weight on the discs, but the whole drill is very heavy as a result, with quite a bit of ballast added to keep it balanced when the hopper is empty and discs are raised.
