Triton direct seed drill

Looks very similar to some spring stuff I direct drilled with a Rapid. I run a cultivator in front of the drill on some other bits and these fields look a bit thicker than the direct drilled bits

any update on how these crops have yielded? Some wheat we mauled in in November with a new Sulky combi drill has been the best yielding crop on the farm this year. So genuinely interested @R J H

yes, only difference is the combi could keep going so finished the field. I am not trying to big up the combi. I am pointing to the fact the seed was mauled in yet survived amazingly well. Something that the '' one we must not mention'' is very good at. So genuinely curious for my own benefit not commercial gain
 
Having chatted to people locally everyone who used combinations got a crop and they appear far better than other methods used.ill take cover now
Nick...
My gut feel is that combi was on ploughed land one pass and not paddled so allowed the stilly heavy rains to get away from the root mass over winter where as shallow min till didn’t afford that luxury. The Plough and combi stuff around us looks the best from the road side this year.

Plough early September was breaking wheat bolts every run. By early October it was too wet to go. Would have been plastercine. Spring ploughing all dried out to boulders.

RJH is currently sipping fine champagne sitting by the pool in his holiday home in Barbados contemplating how to spend the fortune made from December drilled winter wheat, two applications of AminoA and £4:97/ha fungicide spend gave an average yield of 13.4t/ha of 14% protein milling wheat. The OSR on the other hand gave a disappointing 5.76t/ha with three applications of the snake oil,(no other inputs)

Well lads it's time for all you doubters to eat humble pie, kept it quiet but we drilled one field with the Triton in the snow, then irrigated it with amino A, here's the results(Any suggestions the header width got confused will be met with the usual response)
