I still think the principle is good, maybe Triton should have sold the design for the leg and coulter to someone like JJ Metcalfe for retrofitting to other manufacturer's frames.

And close their social media accounts as part of the deal.

drilling bean to day with triton direct into sprayed off failed rape going well till tractor sank in a spring at bottom of hill, it's keeping the tractor on top, is limiting factor
 
What is the drilling depth like on a Tryiton? In that clip the wheels were off the ground.
Also if oilseed rape is off the menu how can you return to the most profitable wheat rape rotation?
This is the slowest car crash I have ever seen.

beans down to 4 inch needed 188hp to pull, 27tines in ground, tracks would have helped not cost affective on one field. wheel were on ground mud coming off !!!:):):):)
