Big discussion on twitter right now but its getting confusing with so many posts (I'm rubbish at twiter !)
This has to be THE drill trial all serious zero-till farmers want to see under UK conditions, prove once and for all if the CS has advantages over the JD that translate into a positive margin benefit to a farmer..............after all that's what its all about isn't it !
personally I cant help feeling (as i know a few others do) that this trail has never been done for a reason, ie its very high risk for CS but Im happy to be proven wrong and have said before if a financial advantage could be proved to me running a CS over a 750a I would buy one tomorrow
Please lets not turn this into a "which is better debate" as both drills are very capable machines, lets keep it on topic and discuss any potential trail and how it should be carried out, the offer is there from me to run my 750 alongside and I can provide a light / medium land site over a number of years even if its felt 1 season is not enough. ideally IMO there would also be a heavy land site somewhere
If CS are serious about selling these machines in any number they cant just do it on hearsay, prove of advantage over a 750a needs proving to me and many other farmers before we are going to part with any cash
