That is one of the worst demonstration videos I've ever seen. All this fancy drone filming but no actual shots of how it works. Depth wheels up in the air, working through loosened soil when it's meant to be a direct drill, no explanation of how it works, half built products, what a shambles.
Interestingly on this video they say they like high draft drills because an 8m drill that only takes 160hp to pull 'isn't doing anything'.....

They have had some good yields. There must be something in it.
No but I watched a video on how the coulter works and it looks like it could be very handy as a back up drill if it gets wet early on here. More so than the usual Kuhn/knevernland back ups.Booked a demo?

Yep seen that, did explain some thingsSo has the bloke I saw in the pub last week ;-)
Have you say the video you posted on twitter actualy explaining the Coulter vs just making wild claims re yield and blackgrsss actualy made some sense and seemed pretty logical
Yes I've spoken to a few about the amino, rather than front loading loads of fungicide I think we definitely need to be looking more at bio stimulants and micro nutrition to give plants a healthy defence mechanism. Especially when varieties like Siskin and Costello still get 80~90% of yield untreated.I still don't think mauling things in in a wet clay field in December is anywhere near ideal. I do get the feeling the AminoA flow is doing more towards the yields then the drill here so I'm going to try a few trial areas this year to see what we can achieve.
From all we have learnt about BG over the years, do we not think that growing just WW/WW/OSR rotations were a big contributor to BG getting so bad in the first place???To be honest Simon Chaplin talks sense when he says forget growing half barns full of spring linseed , spring oats , etc and concentrate on drilling wheat and rape .
They make money, it might not be touchy feely or even in the best interests of the soil ,environment but crops losing money ,
I would rather be making money and not be "Sustainable" than broke ,
Drilling wheat into wet cold snot in December is not the cleverest idea , but it showed the concept
Now whether his drill and coulter are the answer I dont know , but cold hard facts , 1.7 t acre of spring oats , 1.3 t acre of winter beans .0.8 t acre of spring beans DO not make me money.
PS I met him at Groundswell on his stand , hes not a friend or colleague , I dont own his drill , or have shares in AminoA,
