[QUOTE="Clive, post: 7374894, member: 6"] doesn’t really match my experience. I have had many situations where I couldn’t even get the 750a or avatar coulter in the ground ......... sometimes you need weight in a direct drill I’ve also had issues closing slots on stronger soils with 759a , avatar and co - not so with the Novag however the Novag weakness is its weight in a wet year however, and we have a couple such years in the front of our minds right now in the wet weight is the last thing you need / want. 2020 was the year for a drill like a co conversion, Especially one with a front hopper treading as light as possible but frankly in a hard, dry august / September it would be as useful as a chocolate teapot even on my lighter, longer term not till soils if I’ve learnt anything over the last 15years it‘s that no 2 seasons are the same and no single drill is right for all soils, situations and seasons if my entire farm was light / medium soils and I could only have one drill it would be the avatar, if it was all heavier soils it would be a Novag ............. in either situation I would also have a CO conversion for those wet years !
