[QUOTE="Sitting Pretty, post: 6642485, member: 2598"] Kenny I have been looking at this option for a number of years and still not bought one. I had a Mzuri in on demo last year and thought it was a very well made drill and was happy enough with the job it did but last autumn was a doddle. Neil White is getting on well with his Mzuri and is on much stronger ground than me but doesn’t grow anything other than combinable crops. A near neighbour runs a Sumo DTS 3 and there are a couple of Claydon Hybrids working in the county. Crops generally look very well behind them all although I’d say the Claydon is the simplest however being ridgid it sometimes shows up in the way the crop comes up especially on wheelings. I have no raw yield data to go buy it’s just visual road side farming or walking the fields when shooting or by invite. I am similar to you in rotation spring barley-OSR-wheat-vining peas-wheat-seed pots-wheat. Like you I need a form of cultivation after spuds and peas hence why I have not taken the plunge. We have power harrowed less than 150 acres in the past 20 years and only plough for winter barley or 2nd wheat when they have popped up in the rotation for whatever reason. Spuds, peas and spring barley are usually into Horsch Terrano FX cultivated land with low disturbance points, left all winter like you would ploughing then sprayed off and drilled. Same cultivator after spuds does a great job of redistributing the stone rows after spuds plus leaves volunteers in on top. The less we move the soil the better it gets over and also chopping straw plus all wheat and OSR gets hen pen and compost. Drilling with a Horsch Sprinter grain and fert with Dutch openers [/QUOTE]
