Well, I do like boobies.
You should go to the Galapagos Islands
John Mccirick also recently died
Couple of pics from Twitter tonight for the grin. Uncalibrated monitor suggests 10% yield increase, due to AminoA...not the drill...at 13.6%...calculated back to 9%mc loses at least 7% of the claimed increase....
Other pic suggests 5 doses of AminoA (3 on the ear) makes masses of money out of continuous wheat...
So £50/ha (roughly) in AminoA, and at least twice more than a full program through with the sprayer, (he claims an ultra low input system) not to mention reduced yields under the sprayer from the multiple ear washes, makes almost a hundred quid a hectare of extra cost...so 3/4t/ha to stand still.
Tell me, good ship TFF, how would this convince me to buy a Triton drill?
I'm clearly missing something.
Cheers

I think that is impossible and you must be fudging the information
Now if you had used amino I could have believed you.....

I haven’t bought FW for 5 years, might tempt me to buy it if there’s a good Triton article in there...

I fear a fw with tales of pea yield world records and Triton drills at the same time might be too much for my heart to take.

I have just ventured onto the triton twitter page.
The statement on 6th September that "triton continuous wheat gross margin is £1500/ha.." I found rather remarkable.
Seriously?
Wish I could do that.

Maybe I’ll just read it in WH Smith’s, then I don’t have to read the rest of the mag and make me feel all inferior...

Forget the Amino A. I quite like the idea of a triton drill. Trouble is now I couldn't put up with the embarrassment.

I did spend yesterday wondering if I could just shove a hopper on my terrano and establish most crops.

Got the hump when challenged on that twitter post, the drill offers some good points, the fact it looks like it was made in the dark out of scrap doesn’t help and the marketing is comical
Exactly. Its not a terrible concept but nobody who interacts with them on Twitter of here are going to buy one now. Such an own goal. And also the Amino A that they refuse to do independent trials with (please correct if wrong), is such an unlikeable partnership. Its a drill, what does Aminos have to do with it??
PS did anyone get a huge dopamine response when they saw this thread had been updated??

Just picked up on this thread, as direct drilling is not my forte,
But I cannot believe what I’m reading,
