Triton direct seed drill

[mikep]

I guess Triton don’t do paragraphs...

Grammar, punctuation and spelling are sadly lacking too. Reads like someone of below average intelligence dumbing down.

There's no way that RJH is actually working for Triton, his messages are so incomprehensible and just seem to pee people off more.

Definitely works for Triton.

Does it occur to Triton that working a 24hr shift is not an ability exclusive to their drill??

3m Triton @ 20kph (although bonkers) is still a slightly worse output than a 6m CO @10kph due to more turning, both can work for 24hrs a day though...

Now don't spoil a good yarn by applying logic.

i think what we are doing has just as much chance of growing as if we used a Triton - more in fact. It’s moving more soil than I like to but no more than I see the Triton does, it’s placing seed at consistent depth and covering it 100% - it’s not rocket science but for any drill at this time of year success will be determined now by the next 6 weeks weather

if you want to prove otherwise get a drill here and I will split a field and take it to weigh-bridge yield ? Maybe put your money where your month is ?

Are you @R J H going to take up Clives offer ??

I have it on good authority he doesn’t (rather unbelievably !). I know who he is but GDPR means I can not share that

Sorry, I'll take myself to the naughty step

I suspect that the amount of information that he can get into just one sentence is a reflection of yield potential of Triton drilled crops.

Come on @R J H , pass this on to Triton, here is a golden opportunity to prove the drill in an independent trial. If the drill is as good as all the claims you should be taking up the offer of @Clive .

I'm joking really. I know its the same RJH who Triton retweet on twitter, so its no great secret.

Its just oddly cult like. I'm all for singing the praises of brands which do us well but this is another level.

You don’t know he isn’t related in some way!! Marriage etc. It would make sense.

Nah. Like he said, he's interested in the re-sale price. Talk it up to create the demand and then sell sell sell!

should get more than i payed for it as demand in very high

I bet delivery for new orders now are 2025 right now. I wonder if they are giving away a flail mower with every drill like mizuri. [emoji23]

I don't know why you chaps are sniggering. I've got my feet well and truly up after a busy month double-shifting the triton. 10ha an hour round the clock for the last month has netted me a cool £1,080,000 in contract charges, which I plan on spending in Barbados, and that's before I've totted up my own wheat's imminent gross margin of £2000/ha. The fact that my drill has doubled in value in the interim is, in the scale of things, rather small beer.

Oh, hang on.

Wire scraper worked well on the Freeflows. I don’t think there is enough weight on the sprinter packers for this to work. I think they would stall quicker?

Now come on its a Tryiton. Don't you realise every 24hrs with 2l of AminoA is actually 48 of anyone elses time zone.

So does that mean that @Wigeon has actually made £2160000 contracting as he's had twice as many hours to cover the ground, he must have drilled most of England by now.

Could someone post a link to show me what wire scrapers are please, new one on me but sounds interesting.

I think the rear packer would be a downfall on this clay as it’s the main reason we have to stop drilling. I’m going to somehow fix and weld steel rope across the whole rear packer of our sprinter to act as a scraper, dad said some of the old free flows had this kind of arrangement?

Just a thought, a lot of wire scrapers on the Freeflows are replaced with a hefty bit of angle iron, the wire ropes, though strong, do break quite easily. Next job on my Freeflow is to get the angle iron conversion sorted, most of the wire ropes broke this year.
