Row spacings

Just thinking out loud really but what’s the least amount of rows you could get away with?
Something like a KV TS Evo mounted drill currently has 12-15cm row spacings. If somebody was to convert it to Dutch openers how many rows could you do away with to ease trash flow? Just wondering if this would be ok no till entry drill to try?

That depends on what crops you are growing. If it's osr, maize and sunflowers, happy days at 75cm. If it's spring linseed and spring barley, you need to have less than 25cm between the rows. My Claydon is at 32cm but puts 2 rows out of each coulter, so nearer to 25cm. That's plenty wide enough for short strawed spring crops.
