What happened to the rest of it?
No way. For that dinky little thing? Rip off. Does kuhn bring their Krause stuff over there?This ain’t America ….
3m x 4 leg = £27,000 c/w slurry legs
6m x 8 leg = £57,000. “ “
Won’t know/won’t buy until we’ve seen the effect of strip till v plough/power harrow hence the ploughed bit in background
Potentially it does away with subsoiling, ploughing and PH and was using 20 litres/hr @ 8kmph as against 55 L/hr on the 6m PH @ 5kmph
However, it was not good in grassland although I suspect making berms to overwinter then go again in spring would be a better do

We tried some strip tilling to at work and put some slurry down to. Done trials into the middle of afew fields and sumoed and pH the rest. On anything but sandy/loamy soils is seems to be too dry this year to get enough tilth in 1 pass. Also did some after the sumo with slurry to see how it competes with starter fert which is £35+/acre this year!Plunging towards carbon neutral ...

Loose change for Bald Rick .He is swimming in milk which is so valuable they will soon have armed guards on the milk tankers.No way. For that dinky little thing? Rip off. Does kuhn bring their Krause stuff over there?

What are the white spout things for? Looks like it is missing 4 pots for maize seed to just drop in the ground as it goes along, no?
He is a Grange machinery agent now after trialling it for several years .Going well .@Devon James is way ahead of you on this with his Grange strip till set up.
Just for giggles you should look up what 8 row Vertical tillage tools bring over here.I believe that that is quite reasonable for this sort of machine.
Wearing steel May be an issue as I think subsoiler winglets need changing every 10 hectares/25 acres
Well that's just great, I thought you would want to do it in one go???White things are for putting down fert from a front tank.
From what I understand, drills were tried but it’s far better to allow the soil to dry for 8 hours min
Thanks @Cows 'n grass. I must show some info to the good folks of TFF. I go on about it quite a bit in other places! Only because I'm so chuffed with it, I shall post some photos at some point@Devon James is way ahead of you on this with his Grange strip till set up.
Cheers mate. We will be at the Devon and Cornwall showsHe is a Grange machinery agent now after trialling it for several years .Going well .
I can see it working fine and could do as well as the plough power harrow drilled but where is the lathering of farmyard manure?Drilling in to the slot ....

TBF it works well on stubble with very little seed "bounced" out and a consistent depth. Proof will be how it compares with the sister crop on plough/PH adjacent
Not going to work on grass though

Too many root clods will mess with the drill press wheels and sowing depth will be all over the place.
Perhaps a pass in winter then again a week before drilling with grass burnt off may work?

I drill all our game cover with a Claydon and then subsoil after which also rolls it.
Come's a treat but does not get much muck.
