[QUOTE="BSH, post: 273844, member: 371"] I use a Sim Tech drill in an arable situation but not really a heavy clay soil situation. It works very well and is as you say a very simple drill. I haven't had a problem with slugs in the slot as you don't really get a slot in an arable situation but you do going into turf. I had misgivings about depth control, but in practice it hasn't been an issue. I think if it is wet and you are getting slots in clay then they will dry open as much as a slot from any other drill, although I did drill into some pretty wet soil in a patch of a field in autumn 2012 and the chains covered the slots ok , but then it stayed wet! It is pretty forgiving on soil moisture from what I can see so far, but I don't have any other drill to compare it to. [/QUOTE]
