[QUOTE="charlie@horizon, post: 6511018, member: 5315"] [USER=1420]@JCfarmer[/USER] as [USER=166]@Brisel[/USER] said there are 2 different ways that people can drill OSR and other small seeds with a Claydon. [LIST] [*]The [B]7 Inch A Share and Splitter Boot[/B] is best for heavy land because it will ensure the seed is kept on the bank and you wont loose any seed too deep (Probably 70% of our customers do this). If you can use a nice worn set of 7 Inch A Share this will work well because it will move slightly less soil and create a nice tilth. Frank Claydon always uses new 7 Inch A Shares on his drill for the cereals but when they're worn down to about 5 inches he'll replace them and save the worn ones for next years for OSR. If its your first year and you don't have any worn 7 inches then you could opt for a new set of 5 inch A Shares. I agree with Brisel about keeping the A Share nice and shallow and using the tool bar on the back to get the soil coverage. [*]The other option is the [B]3 Inch Spoon and Short Square Boot[/B] which works really well on medium / light land which all boils in behind the front tine so you shouldn't lose any seed too deep. This will allow you to move less soil, preserve more moisture and disturb less weed seeds.
