What are these machine like to operate? Are they hard to set up etc? I’ve an Accord DC drill on a JD6620 and looking at upgrading to a machine that will also do both seed and fert. Any advice greatly appreciated

Bought a secondhand one a few years back. Very pleased with it. They are big money new £55k. We paddell roll the ploughing and used it to direct drill clover into ley and cover crops into stubble. Can be a bit more uneven emergence wise but after a few days you hardly notice. If you have hills it will take a few hp in front (200hp). Being trailed would be a change for you need a big headland. We travel between 12-15km/hr so can get big outputs. Likes firm ground. Pressed ground would be ideal but we only have the rollers at the moment. Only downside I would say is it does not like wet ground!!!
