[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6584609, member: 86168"] some in places, haven't had any real problems, we slow down, and just let the drill trickle through, the proof will be in the spring, when we see how thick the leys are. Having used contractors for several years we have been disappointed with leys, not to blame the contractors, but they want the quickest in and out time, and perhaps ground worked a bit shallow, or not firm enough, and of course cross drilling is £30 acre, and by the time you have (or paid) to plough and work, cost of grass seed etc, its got expensive. We started to roll plough ground before power harrow, and noted an improvement in 'take', and to go back to doing the lot ourselves was daunting !! Rolling behind the vaderstat, we have been surprised at how firm it is, normally you can see your tractor wheel marks behind the roller, not any more. We will have 35 acres of hybred rye to go in yet, we will see how it works then. So far, we are like kids with a new toy, and with careful use of a sward lifter, to break any pan, its going to alter the mathamatics of reseeding here, and will enable us to 'top' up thin grass, at our convenience, and a lot cheaper.
