[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6539435, member: 2119"] light land is always easy. Goes any time with any method. It's the heavy stuff that gives me a headache. Direct disc drill and you cut a hard slot which fills with water or turns into a slug motorway. Use a tine aggressively and you can bring up too many clods or need mega horsepower, or it won't cut in and just scrapes the surface. I am coming to the conclusion that very low disturbance legs with a following disc drill coulter are the way forward in heavy land. That way you don't bring up cack, or create an open cloddy surface. You need a shattered but level surface in which to drill, with the trash cleared from in front of the seeding unit. I have messed about with paraplows and disc drills but one day I will build the holy grail. A direct drill that copes with sand and clay, wet or dry, covered in heaps of badly chopped straw.(y) And will drill anything from clover to field beans and can be pulled by a MF135..... Well something like that. [/QUOTE]
