Will a DTS bring more stones (cricket ball to football size) to the surface than a plough -press- vaderstad system?. We have had a DTS on demo on some " non stoney" land and I was surprised what it found lurking beneath the surface but also very impressed with the job it made of placing the seed. Thanks.

I think one of the issues will be with a plough based system they will push back down with the rolls easier whereas they do need more picking after the dts. We found the same with the sumo but you do lessen them after a couple of years .
Stones do flow through the drill a lot better than I thought they would .
