I have the same problem with slugs on winter beans. Last time they were a problem was 2012. I will need to redrill 15 acres in a 50 acre field. (If it ever dries up enough!)
Triton direct seed drill
- Thread starter R J H
- Start date
that.s what it is designed for
Ha no, a guy who actually farms next to mr triton. He said it does what they say it will do in terms of drilling in grim conditions and the crops look okay.Friend as in “asking for a friend” ?

It would be good to get someone else’s opinion/experiences of the drill, with some actual relevant photos. Not the usual junk...
I have had a neighbor in with his 4m triton on a 310hp jd.Did a good job on the lighter fields but could not travel on the heavy clay fields .I was drilling with my co4 on the lighter land which did as good job but struggled on the headlands so he had to do them.we will see which looks best when it emerges.I think I will have less slug issues behind the co4.
How big a tractor did you pull the CO with?
triton direct drilled beans moved a lot less soil than your notill beans!!??? look on twitter for vidFriend as in “asking for a friend” ?
headlands not a fair test to rest of field. test side by side in equal soils not compacted head lands and good soil, more slugs on headlands?
makes good job when other drills fail , no difference in good conditions as all drills make a good job.
well done - I suspect my drill can not cover 500 plus acres a day and the crops it drills won’t yield 15t/ ha or whatever other ridiculous claim you care to make either
can you buy a triton for 4.5k euros and borrow a front hopper form Horsch to get the job done in a shitty season like this ?
our co 6 conversion is still A rubbish cheap drill compared to a 750a or our avatar BTW, I’m not sure I would base the marketing of Triton on comparisons to it !
thats ridiculous triton never claimed this , spot rate's never match field rate's, they claim spot rate's. should put field rate!
don't call when you cannot make better job with your's
the only think I’ve not heard Triton claim is a cure for cancer !
......... maybe that’s next year
true claim 3 meter 3 acer a hour in tuff conditions 10 kh

traveling to fill up at farm, turning ,chequing drill , setting up gps
10 k with a 3 metre drill is usually half the speed in acres 5 acres an hour
Only a small point, most of us wouldn’t be in the position to have Horsch lend us a front hopper. I seem to struggle to get anything on demo nowadays ?

They should sell them with the front tank included.that would bump the cost up
