Just had a set on my drill today too, been testing a handful since last season, they are a lot better now.

Will my new drill come with these fitted?
Dealer referred to it s a “fit as failed” update
Ie I think you have to complain to get a set vs them proactively offering them to you
If it doesn’t, complain
There is s new 3m in my yard on a truck that’s on route to a dealer right now, is that your drill maybe ?

Also been testing the new ones dealer fitted a new set whilst they were modding the fold rams.
The most commonly used opener in the world has had a factory upgrade wonder how long before they get over here?

That’s looks like a really nice job
some nice upgrades there, wonder how long it takes for them to come to UK versions ?
won't do gutler sales much good !

Deja vu.
They’d want to get Simon Chiles round with his quick fit fitters to change that many discs. My back cries when thinking of a 3m!

on your own a complete nightmare, but two people no problem

Especially if it's two other people

Do you think so? The Guttler wheel would still be a better design for its most important function- breaking the sidewall of the compacted side of the slot. I can see that the new JD closing wheel would outperform Yetter, Thompson and Hagney closing wheels in cultivated and lighter soils but they’d be better in true dd especially when seeding deeper. Of those three spading wheels I’d rate the Hagney’s best. The Guttler is still going to offer the best all round performance especially when it’s fitted with the added weights. For the sake of the extra cost, which is small in comparison to the overall cost of a drill, is it worth compromising drilling results?
I agree the gutter probabaly still has the edge especialy as it can be weighted etc but if you bought a new drill and it came with the jd toothed closer do you think that possible slight edge is enough to justify throwing the jd ones away and spending on a set of gutlers ?
Jd need to up their game with this drill ASAP imo as new kids on the block are looking pretty good these days.
