Vaderstad/Moore unidrill project

[mdagri]

I am considering adapting the drill coulters from a Rapide to fit onto my old unidrill.
Slot closure with the Moore is often an issue on our heavy ground and I was thinking the slimmer coulter from the Rapide may make a better job.
At this stage I was hoping to find some old worn coulters to chop up and adapt, rather than buying new. That way a can play about with the geometry on a few before settling on a design.
Does anyone have any throwing about? Yorkshire/North Lincolnshire area would be ideal.

Thanks

Have you seen what slot closure is like on the Rapid used as a DD? I know the rear tyres aren't an ideal design for this. Will you be keeping the Moore discs?

Sorry, no Rapid coulters here. My old ones were scrapped ages ago as they were worn out & the drill itself left the farm 3 years ago.
