[QUOTE="clbarclay, post: 7019482, member: 6671"] 1" pigtail tines are not heavy duty when arable direct drilling. I have steadily gone through all my spares and will change to 30x30mm tines. 6" row spacing is pretty narrow. I'm at 8.5" and it seems like a fair compromise, but it can still block up in some circumstances. It's easy enough to get different distribution heads and reducers for accords. I'm using Bourgault knife openers, which have worked well enough. I strongly advise going tungsten tips on any coulter for direct drilling. The first set I had weren't, rounded off fairly quickly and then didn't penitrate well. With a pigtail cultivator, the spacing between front and rear tines can be rather more than on time direct drills. I tried mine with roller behind the tines, but on uneven ground, the distance between the roller and from tines was far too much and depth control was terrible. Depth wheels in amongst the tines have been far better. [/QUOTE]
