can the weaving hoppers do 250-300kgs of seed at 18kph even? - that's a LOT of seed being transferred from a front tank / min ??

Your right Clive not a prayer I’m on the limit at 4.8m at 12kph at upto 250kgs. You’d need a twin metering device hopper and 2 heads or a pressurised hopper system.

I’ve got 100 ac of untouched ex bean land that I reckon would go quite well with a Triton, it’s a well drained nice field and I have my own front hopper . I wonder if they would lend me one to do a real world trial .

At over list price as farmers are so desperate to own the only drill that will eliminate black grass and drill in the rain, also the added benefit of contracting with it at £60/acre (remember 240ha per 24hrs is possible) should not be overlooked. Add AminoA into the mix and 12t/ha at £250/t is a very real possibility.

Anyone who doesn't have one, or who doesn't buy aminoA, will be first up against the wall when Corbyn gets in.

I very much feel I'm not part of a "special club". And not sure if it's a good or bad thing.

It's a good thing. This is bloody comedy gold.

I have drills that would drill it but I would really like to test the claims of Triton .
And with Triton were sensible they would come along and let you as an independent,I do think it would be quite funny if such a simple system did work though against all the otherr fasionable expensive setups

Here we go, a lesson in fuddled marketing.
Imagine the savings if he were to use the full width of the drill instead of overlapping 3 coulters!!
If the drill is so wonderful, why wasn't that field drilled before the snow hit?

Just a video of a cultivator. Do think there was actually any seed in the hopper?? [emoji848]
