I farm on the south east coast, on the main land inside of the island oland. It is not any dders around here that I am aware of. I am trying to learne the principles of dding. We usually have dry weather especially in the spring. @Clive I think you forgot a word?Where in Sweden are you farming ?? Do you have contact to the swedish DDers ?? They can certainly give you better knowledge on DDing under the local circumstances than we can. Principles are universal, solutions are local !
I think the TINE is most forgiving but least versatile !
Ideal world buy both ! They both have pros and cons

York....just get over to EE and you will find the "travelling brothers" and see some thrilling No Till.
Actually we had in our largest farming magazine, 110000 subscribers, a very positive report on the CS. Topic was: is No Till a option on for high yielding areas.
back to your original question: Which drill on stony soils". My reply is: a disc drill as she rather pushes the stones in than pulls them out. And believe me, I have picked up enough stones in my life in a tillage based system.

Jim,York....
Our disc drill (Kuhn SD4000) lifts over the stones and broadcasts the seed on the soil surface...where it does not grow...for that reason I am looking at either a Mzuri (1) Aithchison (2) Claydon (3)..... I would just love to be able to try them alongside each-other on the same day...I think my disc drill days are over..great in a dry year but I suspect we are going to get two wet years out of three... so we have to adapt and change our drill to suit what nature is going to throw at us.

you can buy the article online.
I have done pictures, but they are of poor quality. Tomorrow I might get a good scan. but this is not for putting onto the internet.

I have a couple of clients & my main "trial" farm, farm of a friend, affected. Was there yesterday but due to not being able to downsize the size no pictures jes.Thanks for that, but I stupidly never clicked that the article would be in German so not a whole lot of good to me, thanks anyway. Maybe if you had time sometime you could write a very short and concise summery, a couple of bullet points.
Were you at the flodded area today as you mentioned, do you have many farming friends badly affected?
