[QUOTE="l'ordinary bonville, post: 121622, member: 2954"] Static. I am right there with you, although a year behind maybe. I did take over farm and streamline machinery a few years back though so now have fewer but much tidier and newer machines, with a 2 year old vaddy 4m. My take on it all is to combine the one pass rape seeding with strip tillage using a Mzuri or similar and also use it on 1st wheat after rape. That's over half of my rotation dealt with using only one tool. Other parts of the rotation, i.e. 2nd wheats and barley could be drilled with Mzuri when conditions allow and plough or trio type machine followed by combi drill in poorer conditions or after spreading muck/ paddling field, wet year, etc. The casualty in all this would be my new vaddy drill. I did buy a disc roller, like a carrier, which will start by striking weeds straight after combine and levelling land out a bit. I wonder whether I should do this whole approach and min till a couple of years more to improve soil a bit and level land before taking the big plunge. I intend to chop more straw rather than sell and allow neighbouring stock farmer to collect in the pissing rain, causing ruts everywhere. However I say this every year and still give in. I also wonder whether these strip till drills are just as good as a vaddy when used after ploughing or deeper non inversion tillage. I view strip tillage as a necessary step on the way to "full" DD. It may even be the destinationo_O Spring cropping is a virtual NO in this area on heavy cold wet clay [/QUOTE]
