Too late for drilling wheat with a Claydon?

[JCfarmer]

Not drilled any with the Claydon this Autumn, will put the winter beans in with it hopefully.
With afew days dry weather and untouched stubbles considering trying the Claydon on some 2nd wheat, perhaps if dry enough tickle through with a spring tine first?
Concerned this time of year with water sitting in channel etc
Thoughts and experiences appreciated

Drilled loads of wheat with a Claydon last year on or around the 20th Nov. No problem

I am in the same boat as you no claydon wheat drilling done yet, I'm considering putting zig zag harrows on the drill to try and improve the covering aspect..

Was the stubble untouched and how did it yield in comparison to more conventional?

Drilled almost everything with the Claydon this year, 2 Sprinters stood up. Will hopefully get some more wheat in this week / next week.

Are you using A hoes or a twin tone setup BB?

A hoes, into cultivated land. Have some beans to put in and planning on using 3 “ spoons.

Ok thanks for that. Are you running any depth with the front legs? I ask because I still have a lot to drill, some ploughed some mintilled and some stubbles.

Yes, running the front legs deeper than seeding leg. Emergence up to now has been reasonably good apart from turning headlands.

Simtech not claydon here, but for the first time ever , I drilled round and round so not to maul the same headlands . Looking ok with no bare patches , slow going when you get near the middle.

Don't you just then maul in the corners? in an X across the field.

Drill headlands last, and if GPS is available, do every other run across the field to make turning easier.
The go over the worst trafficked areas using the drill as a cultivator, it won't look pretty, but you'll have crop.
