Triton direct seed drill

[R J H]

I am late to this tread. Didn’t know of Trinton drills until this Sunday.

Any photo of the openers please.

PS dinner plates not good on high mag wet soils, I concur with that statement.

tine options for all soil types

 

[R J H]

yes I agree , when I saw one I bought it. will send photos off openers .they are simple but very effective , they have made a lot of small tweaks to them, It is so simple a lot of blinked people don't get It, that a cheep drill gives very good yields, when they have payed a fortune, disk don't work for me, Just get poor yields.

my openers. I also have very low disturbance openers that push to soil down

 

[R J H]

The way I see this drill design is light as poss. To run on a smallish tractor on big tyres to run on wet soils to miss the main BG germinating period. 3 meter moving quickly to cover the ac’s.

Now folk are asking for more weight & cost by way of Folding, harrows, Pre eme makers, soon you will want a dam great press on the rear as well.

It’s designed to run when other £15,000 / Meter drills are shed bound.

That’s how I see it anyway.

Regards All.

I run 150 hp on 710s with 3mt

its a shame Triton don't make the points/openers to suit other drills. I would try a set on my freeflow

Dale used to supply coulters for freeflow

Surely it wouldn't be hard to make a similar opener to the triton without any copyright issues.

I agree about all the claims of zero blackgrass and amino A boosting yields beyond people's wildest dreams, BUT I still like the overall concept of the drill, it could work well for some people.

If I had spare money I would buy one as I do have a front hopper with no purpose, it could sit at the back of the shed and come out when necessary.

their is a small business grant of 40% for 3mt and bigger direct drill ask triton about the deal

 

[R J H]

I can actually see some sanity in the idea, late drilling with a machine that can clearly cope with wet soil

But pretending it will make you blackgrass free in 1 year flat and that 2 L of amino A will suddenly start producing world record yields / cure cancer is .... ................ “misguided”

Got to love the loyalty and enthusiasm of their “customer” on this thread ;-)

Normally we would moderate but in this case we decided the entertainment value was much higher

manage's from sentury farming visited triton and came away ordering a 6mt folding drill, top of the range, all that bought triton drills are using them next year, sum have upgraded to larger drills, so one or two smaller drills on the market. no one getting rid. If it stays wet triton will not be able to keep up with demand.

 

[R J H]

trying sum tungsten carbide openers next. my spring barley yielded 6.8 tons on clay that dried out in spring, late to germinate, to 8.8 tons on limestone, all had 3lt of amino a and half rate fungicide all very clean. starting w wheat next will post when i start. one of the first will be flat shabras, half triton, half power harrow drill

Nice to see some commercial sensitivity there from Triton. Still amazed that a random one of their customers remains so abreast of their sales. Presumably the same RJH who's photos get featured on their Twitter account. If I didn't know any better I might even speculate that you're their only customer, or perhaps the only one that wishes to admit it!

Twitter user Triton Yorkshire has some interesting tweets, maybe are very similar to post on TFF coincidentally

@R J H I really think you should disclose your commercial link / connection with Triton drills because as funny and entertaining as this thread has been we can not knowingly allow forum members to be mislead

Your IP address resolves to Pontefract area which unless I'm mistaken is in Yorkshire

It's a big mistake to thing farmers are too stupid to join the dots themselves

 

[T Hectares]

When it dries up I have my tramline trial to cut in some late October drilled Wheat, pairs of tramlines treated with 3ltr/ha of AminoA across a 22ha field of great looking wheat, I'm starting to wonder if I can muster up enough trailers to haul all the wheat in, or if the store is big enough to fit all the wheat in??
I will post results either way...

And so the next big thing with Triton drills is liquorice

Top of the range, what does that include?

For a customer you know a lot about Tritons business

BTW is Sentry

Prepare to be disappointed, my Bridgeway trials bought nothing to the party

Bridlington (where Yorkshire Triton are based) and Pontefract are about 70 miles apart so I don't think there's a connection as much as I think inexplicably a Cambridge based company has managed to make a foothold in that part of the world.

It would almost be more acceptable that RJH worked for Triton, at least then there would be a reasonable excuse as to why he is being given all of their sales and customer information. Not sure I'd feel comfortable buying a Triton knowing that I would get used as an involuntary advert for it.

I believe I may have made the connection in less than 2 mins. But then I might be wrong.

Think this must be RJH
