Triton Drill - design discussion

Surely winching engines is the ultimate answer to CTF and eventually autonomous agriculture. Get some wood burning engines from the states and it would be carbon neutral too!

Not quite as you need to do the headlands and it can only run straight. The Dowler gantry revisited and upgraded would be much better.

To a certain extent yes but it isn’t just what it looks like the frame it’s the poor frame design and layout (wheels hung outback) that I just can’t stand and there is no way I would buy a new machine to cut it to bits as drastically as it needs is plain crackers I’d sooner buy the coulters and do it my self but as they make it quite plain they won’t play that game then I’ll leave it and watch the hilarity for now

I think they are selling very well at the minute.

The coulter is quite interesting but the frame looks like it was designed with wax crayons.

I do wonder how much just laser cutting a Triton logo into a plate and welding it to the current frame would alter perceptions of it.

Anyone got a photo of the Coulter ?

Quiet a few of different point styles on their website.
