I think one of the issues for CS in the UK market is that a lot of its very good features simply would never get used and therefore have chance to pay for themselves
CS has REALLY impressive coulter travel for example, looking at pics of NZ drilling I can see the value of that over rough hillside pasture with big boulders and uneven seedbeds etc but in the UK no-one drills in such conditions, the more limited travel of the 750a coulter is beyond whats required even
same goes for the coulter pressure sensing system, just OTT for UK soils and fields, Fert system / separation which most UK CS owners have deleted as fert is just not done by many in the seedbed in the UK
I have always thought of it as a great drill and well engineered etc but in the same ways as I appreciate those features in a Hummer as a farm truck, simply OTT for my needs !
