[QUOTE="Nearly, post: 8632499, member: 149"] Spending £50k on a drill is not for everyone. If someone was determined they could spend £50k on 'conventional' kit. On my little patch it's cheaper for me to plough and combi drill. (£5k in kit). Wearing parts, diesel and me are the only costs. Min till drill in the shed is another £5k but it has helped me to rethink the job. Plough and combi are still there as backup. ;) A direct drill will only plant the seed. I'm learning there's many things before and after using any drill that help. It used to be called 'mixed farming' or using 'green manures'. [/QUOTE]
