[QUOTE="Feldspar, post: 1694368, member: 386"] And how have they gone, Andrew? Saw the Sumo working on some of our neighbour's ground today. One field into min-tilled land and another into wheat stubble. Drill performed OK in the min-tilled ground which was a bit tacky. Vaddy would have done better, but then that's hardly surprising. Neighbour thought they might have to tickle the top to make sure all of the seed was covered. I was impressed though with how it went on the stubble. There was a fair covering of straw which had been quite finely chopped and cut quite low. The clay underneath was still pretty wet and sticky. The drill though seemed to go fine. A little bit of mud picking up on the press wheels but nothing major and the seed nicely placed in the slot cutting through the straw well. There was a little bit of straw tucked into some of the slots, but to my untrained eye it didn't look that bad. Will be interesting to see how the crop comes up. I think these are the sort conditions that I'd want a drill to work in (in terms of wetness) and my hunch is that a 750a might have filled the guauge wheels with mud in these conditions. There was a demo Dale sat in their yard which they're trying on the other half of the wheat stubble tomorrow which should be interesting to watch. Min-tilled bit (not entirely representative as this was a shaded headland): [ATTACH=full]221644[/ATTACH] Wheat stubble: [ATTACH=full]221642[/ATTACH] Sorry, photos are carp. [/QUOTE]
