[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 6775217, member: 69858"] Was a learning curve! Some did really well and some was patchy, had issues with fert blocking in pipes which I found later was a lump in the distribution head blocking holes. Did some into over wintered stubble on a new block of ground which had baked before we drilled it so was slow to start but ended up being a good crop, did some into Italian rye grass which had been cut then sprayed off but had issues with grass regrowing so think I will spray off after drilling this time to give it longer to regrow. This was the worst yielding fields but I dont think the drills fault. Only other issue I had was into ley ground I found the single shoot coulters left a fair slot which the press wheel struggled to close I was on the wide press wheels so dont know if narrow would of been better or to use the double shoot coulter for grass ground? Hoping to do all my maize this year with it into a mixture of cover crops/grass leys/stubbles [/QUOTE]
