A Moore really

very near a Moore but brought up to date and a separate part of Sulky

And the Fertisem type has fertilizer placement in the SAME row as the seed, but applied over the seed.

This is what we have as some on here have been to see it in action WWW.PILLARLASERS.COM

 

[Davos]

Wasn't there some sort of legal dispute between Sulky and Moore ? in which Moore lost and therefore the disc angle is now different on the Moore.

They are Sulky, not Moore, probably the most popular direct drill in France.
The Fertisem is nice when mixing different seeds, the small ones go shallower than the big ones (nice for companion cropping).
The new "HD" line has been improved and is now very reliable.

Having had only brief experience with a 750a I think seed firming wheel is a big advantage on a disc dril as even if you can't close the slot the seed is pushed into soil and grows fine. Only done a few hundred acres with a hired drill so have no loyalty to any brand.....

were the ones before "HD" bad and unreliable then? ,

Very interesting... I tried to buy a Sulky 3 metre Fertisem a couple of years ago...in France it would have cost me around £35000, however in the UK by the time it gone through the importers and my local dealer we were looking a figure nearer to £50,000 so it was a not an option. I thought that Sulky (and SKY) are setting up a UK company to sell their products in the UK direct to farmers. In this new age of low crop prices there is just not enough margin for an importer and a dealer to have a margin... We know this and it is why we set up http://www.bullocktillage.co.uk/index.html

Someone got a drone with a camera for their birthday. Dreadful French pop soundtrack. Unfortunately this little movie doesn't tell us much

 

[SilliamWhale]

Why buy a drill with less adaptable features than others on the market?

 

[fergie35]

Better video of the 3m in action.
