[QUOTE="Warnesworth, post: 7374876, member: 3357"] Again I would disagree, heavy land situations are where these heavy drills simply don't work, heavier land by its very nature is much more sensitive to damage by weight and this is a heavy drill requiring a heavy tractor to pull it, i.e. lots of weight. It's sold on the basis of 'one drill for every situation' so when the heavy land is slightly too wet the damage is done. As I have said above the hair pinning is next to the seed in chopped straw situations, I have seen it many times. I do like the Horsch conversion, and I especially like what you have done with it with the front tank, as I have said to you before it's almost genius, but I accept that it also has its limitations, hence the two drill solution. But would you have used the Novag in the same situation when it was so wet (and on lighter soil)? By advocating this one drill, sold as a one drill fits all, lets people down in my opinion because when the soil conditions don't suit it the farmer is stuck with an expensive boat anchor because they probably cant afford to invest in a second drill. And then what other drill do you buy to compliment it because is the CS/Novag primarily a disc or tine...? Answer: it's not one or the other, but a compromise of the two, which is the worst place to be IMO. And its too heavy for our soils IMO. [/QUOTE]
