[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 7140948, member: 192"] Not at all. I’m genuinely interested in what people think about it. I can’t comment on the grass seed thing yet as it only came in Feb. However I’ve put some cover crop into our worst Ryegrass field 4 weeks ago so will be watching that closely and today started to put a cover into a field that historically had Blackgrass in places. These both will be followed with spring wheat. The blackgrass field had spring wheat this last harvest drilled by the Triton and we didn’t see any blackgrass other than in a couple of sprayer auto on/off misses by telegraph poles. So I’m on the fence with that presently but have an open mind and the science behind it makes sense is all I can say really. As for the frame then any tine drill I can think of except the Dale/Seedhawk have wing contour following which the 6m Triton would have as it’s folding. Even the new Horsch mounted tine drills don’t have individual tine depth control. Not aimed at you but I think there’s a lot of people commenting about this drill without having seen one working up close or looking at the tine design properly. I’m very happy with it as it fills in all the blanks from the multitude of drills we’ve tried since the early 90’s when my father started to look at direct drilling. The first drill he used was an original JD750 planting beans into wheat stubble then going back into beans direct into the wheat stubble. Slotting was the issue which pretty much every drill we’ve tried suffers from. The Triton doesn’t. ‘’If you can pull it at a decent speed, it’ll cover the seed’’ [/QUOTE]
