Strip Till (Sugar Beet,Rape,Maize,Veg,Beans,etc)

[normandyfarmer]

Are you trying to discuss about strip-till or only to advertise about Carré machines ?

BOTH , However yes mainly to discuss people views and experiences of STRIP-TILL
here is one due for sugar beet coming April/May 2017, with a seeder for cover crops to sow in the row and a front hopper to sow between the row !!

 

[normandyfarmer]

Are the seeding units from Sulky ? How will you sow between the rows ? Just leave the seed on top ?
I'd like to do that to on our 6 row machine but I'm struggling to find a reliable way of doing it as there is not much room between two units at 45cm !

Can't believe that people can order a +60k£ machine and still wants marker on it !

Not very precise I know but we did a bit in the autumn having broadcast all sorts of bin-ends then the cultistrip swept most up with straw and covered/mixed seed. You could easily see the rows on the ground, less stalks to upset beet drill. I would add that it was much less easy to see where to drive from tractor seat though.....one thing buying a tractor with guidance but suddenly we seem to need it on everything! I have a seeder on the cultistrip also and it does leave distinct rows of either mix when used into pre-spread land but there is obviously some overlap.

Would like a go at strip tilling beet but as we only grow 50ac of it and its future is uncertain there isnt the scope to be spending money on specialist kit.

Would you contract it out , front cultivator with liquid fert placement ,then low disturbance subsoiler leg and mulch drill ,one pass ,

Has anyone ever made any money contracting?!

So it can be used on all tractors not just RTK equipped versions?
