[QUOTE="MDA, post: 1004784, member: 481"] Hello all, I thought I would start a thread on here to show the progress of our new direct drill throughout the coming season for everyone to see, comment on and add to. We are currently getting the drill ready for spring demos with some final small adjustments and a small trial in a few local fields to make sure everything is working correctly before we start properly. The drill will make a final show appearance at Agri-expo on the 4th of March in Kent before the spring campaign begins if anyone is thinking of going, we will be on the Burden Bros stand along with a large selection of our other equipment. So yesterday we tried the drill on a bit of spare ground and some old game cover which we were pretty pleased with. Drilling seed at around 40mm travelling at 10km/h in the game cover and 15km/h on the stubble. [ATTACH=full]119136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]119150[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]119152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]119158[/ATTACH][ATTACH]119154[/ATTACH] The disc cuts through the trash well and I didn't see any hair pinning as such. I noticed that seed was placed right at the bottom of the trench an any material in the sowing trench was pressed in above the seed by the following slot closing wheel. Early days anyway, we have a lot to learn! I will keep updating this thread with any new pics and observations. Marv. [/QUOTE]
