[QUOTE="KB6930, post: 7161286, member: 13342"] If we didn't have a power harrow combination drill we wouldn't have had much of a harvest apart from the odd early drilled field in 2019. How does working 4 inches on the top with a power harrow destroy the soil any more than any other cultivator working the same depth ??. The same job can usually be achieved I one pass of a power harrow compared to at least 2 of a carrier for example and then you need more time to drill it so we might only get 40-50 acres per day with the combi but 2 machines doing more passes to achieve 100 acres is no better. I know different soil types it's not possible to do what we do but if your soil suits then why not There were a few round the area that went totally into strip till or direct drilling last year and the ones running a cultivator then trailed drill really struggled. Where the rest of us plodding away with plough and combi following got most of it in the ground and got winter crop to harvest. [/QUOTE]
