[QUOTE="MDA, post: 1043988, member: 481"] Drilling Sanette spring barley today on some light land that has been DTS'd for the past 2 years. The focus was to see how much soil disturbance was created by the rear angled press wheel in light soils. In the end we found the best setting was to run them at an almost straight angle to DOT and un-pinned so they were floating worked well and no seed was observed being flicked back onto the surface which sometimes can be a problem with this type of closing wheel. Their own weight coupled with the weight of the press wheel arm seemed to be enough to break the furrow wall and cover the seed. We may try some less aggressive designed ones if this problem becomes apparent later. We also had to make a better designed cranked more adjustable drawbar end to get the drill to run more level as the John Deere one is very low. Drilling speed 12km/h using 8.2ltrs/ha fuel.
