[QUOTE="Shutesy, post: 6775034, member: 316"] A wild bird seed mix thats a few years old, gone woody and fallen over in a tangled mess is a slightly different kettle of fish to drill into than a leafy 6 month old cover crop, you could exclude things like Mustard from your cover crop mix to avoid long woody stems. I've never been able to grow cover crops like Clive that are bonnet high, most of the time they get to about knee high and this year hardly ankle high for most people from what I've heard. My DTS has a leading disc and a tine, has never been defeated by a cover crop yet, stupidly long stubble (combine driver :rolleyes:) or lodged cereals or leftover straw swaths maybe. You need to decide if you want to go strip-till or no-till, they require different management decisions. Your set of Proforge discs would help you get into strip-till for a few years, it doesn't have to be religiously direct into stubble all the time, a light discing can sometimes help in certain situations.
