[QUOTE="mikep, post: 6670440, member: 4999"] The pity is there is a good rationale behind the design but the Tryiton thing as a whole is just farcical. Being on a very wet silt/clay soil any drilling is vulnerable to rain if consolidated, more so in the spring as the soils are wetter then. This year I got half my acreage in but had a premonition and jumped ship to plough/combi and i'm glad I did. Would a Tryiton have helped this year? well probably not as here the top becomes so slick you would need straikes to move which is where ploughing scores. I have no problem with ploughing this year as the land suffered from lack of cover two years ago and needed moving to settle some of the silt. Back to design, the drainage channel and lack of top sealing would be great here if you could pull it as, as I say seed dies from lack of air here if top consolidated and it turns wet. Conversely if it's on top the birds have it. All I need now is something that would move on top to pull it. [/QUOTE]
