And it was unsuccessful because they bought a different tine drill. This company have a good drill but the attitude is hilarious. I actually find it quite funny to watch it's like a car crash of poor marketing and attacking their own target audience.

Car crash is one (polite) way to describe it !

If the drill was out on demo did it not get sent out with a demo driver to either drive the tractor and set up the drill or if the farmer drove his own tractor with the drill on did nobody come and help him set the drill up in a range of conditions? Cant just send a machine out on demo without anyone to set it up or explain things about its operation.

I went to lie down and digest a huge lunch courtesy of my mother in law and thought I’d check in. I like the concept but like the truth more.

Considering how kind the back end has been this year, and how few bad crops are about it's hard to believe you've managed to balls up everything but the triton drilled.

How about the monitor farm at Brigg. Don't think colin will be buying. In fact the other day he said the vaderstad looked better drilled on the same day

colin just bought a triton drill

wow. why do you think the combination drilled wheat has done so badly? The Triton wheat looks well in comparison but most wheat would against that.

 

[YELROM]

Is the combination drilling straight into the stubble with no other cultivation
(You have also got the same picture up twice as being drilled on the 10 and 19 October)

Which disc drill ?
The different makes work at different depths, some to seed level, some deeper, some single, some double, different press wheels and pressures.
