[QUOTE="MattR, post: 7158485, member: 19950"] Not a DDer currently but considering it, and from what I gather many would recommend a T-SEM as a good option for a small farm with a limited budget, which we are. Any general advice welcome, but specifically what are people's thoughts re row spacing? We bale all our straw but aim to spread fym when we can, not to mention that we'd aim to do some cover cropping if we went down the dd route. Can the 20 row version cope with the trash flow ok in this situation or should I be looking at the 16? Is it a fairly versatile drill, ie good on ploughed/cultivated seedbeds too? From videos of them there seems to be quite a bit of soil movement, more than other tine drills or not? Does this put people off? Also - we still plough/ph at the moment; what is the consensus regarding entry into zero-till - most seem to have been a few years min/strip till beforehand. Is going direct from ploughing feasible? (I know I have a lot of research to do and everyone will say don't rush headlong into it but I might have the opportunity to buy a used t-sem and decent direct drills in my budget are few and far between.) (Edit: one more thing - weight quite far back? Would our Zetor Proxima Plus 110 cope with it ok (107hp)? It struggled with a not-too-heavy-looking old Amazone combi box drill I bought a while back.)
