ThanksI've direct drilled turnips and osr with a Rapid on clay and chalk soils. I used the system disc a bit where there was a need for some loose soil around the seed. Removing the straw is essential due to hair pinning and beware of slot closure if it is at all wet.
If it is wet and you decide to drill would you roll to help increase slot closureI've direct drilled turnips and osr with a Rapid on clay and chalk soils.

I would be interested in hearing how you get on, please keep us updatedwell I ordered a new rapid for DD. without pivot and without front implement, but with fert. we'll see how it goes decision based off pics in this thread lol
I have a joker so worst case if need be I can min till the field first but after canola and beans no till should work as there won't be much residue
arrives around March
Be really interested in your resultsok as promised and inspired by this thread...
new '22 rapid 300c arrived! for no till and min till, no pivot, no front tool - only the crossboard heavy which i'm not using. today was my first no till experience... into last year's 10t wheat crop. i first flail mowed the field last week. drilled soybeans, rapid easily cut through the trash and placed the seeds into moist soil. so i guess it should grow! i did #8 on the depth scale and went 8kph for minimal soil disturbance, happy how its looking. if the seeds grow i will post more pics later this summer.
