We have recently invested in a Krause no till drill. It has the wavy disc followed by a double disc opener. It's the pro till version so has a wheel in front of and behind the double disc opener.
We are wanting to drill spring beans into cover crops. The 2 situations we have are min tilled land drilled with either black oats and vetch or wheat stubble direct drilled (Amazone Cayena) with mustard. We had a drive around the fields with a spade and penetrometer (simple Vaderstad one with no dial) and found no real evidence of compaction other than headlands on the direct drilled fields and no compaction on the tilled soil. Was planning to spray off cover crops at least 2 weeks before drilling. Significant quantity of black grass on one field.
Going forward we will be drilling spring wheat into cover crops next year.
Was after some advice on do's and don't with this type of drill setup.
I believe the front disc is to cut through the trash and not to run at significant depth, is this correct?
Is anyone using guttler closing wheels on this type of drill?
