[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 7306974, member: 192"] I hadn’t seen one in the flesh but seen some you tube videos. It was the closing blade that spurred the interest as nothing on the market has this system. I made contact in early December 19 and Simon couldn’t have been more helpful. Spoke a few times and then various emails with the pricing etc. I ordered it on the 21/12/19 funnily enough having just checked back, so a year to the day. It was delivered at the end of Jan 20 so about a month later. It went to work within a few days. As I’ve said before some of the stuff I’ve since read on this thread are miles away from my experience to the point I don’t actually believe half of them. Over the last year Simon and Ian at Triton have always been on the end of the phone and Rob who does the spare parts is also easily contactable. We’ve had some dodgey bolts bending and lost some points which have been replaced foc and then they’ve worked on a remedy for the bolts. Also a similar thing with some shear bolts. Again they’ve been replaced foc. My whole experience has been nothing short of excellent and up there with the likes of Bateman and Claas backup. But best of all I now have a direct drill that will work directly or on moved soil and actually closes the slot which no other drill I’ve tried has ever done consistently. In an ideal world I’d also have a disc drill for tall cover crops but can’t justify that. I’ve a great local contractor who has a 750a and I’ll use that if required - will be using it next autumn to go wheat into a 4 year grass ley for example, that had horrendous blackgrass so I just want to slit some wheat in so not to undo 4 years of what the grass has done. I’m going to add a front mounted topper here as well so I can top and use the Triton direct into waist high mustard cover on the lighter soil that doesn’t need time to dry out after a cover. I don’t see us ever wanting a wider Triton and if the need ever arises I’ll buy another 3m so that we don’t get back into the big 350hp tractor category. Two smaller ones are better in my view.
