Anyone use quad splitters on their 2 row planter. Looking help on getting a set made up. Been using a standan 3 row planter but we've had enough of it, lucky boss drives planter so not my problem.

We use them on a grimme 32b. They make a reasonable job but I always hoped to go three rows. We sometimes struggle to get the target no. of tubers per ha on some varieties. On soil with high organic matter they can push a bit but generally they work well

Same here, but it's wider boots as well as the splitter, fancy 3 rows as well but the price of it puts me off
