[QUOTE="Boysground, post: 2582382, member: 610"] I occasionally use my rapid as a direct drill. Usually after maize on some very sticky silt ground where culivation can easily make planting impossible. I have 20 ac this year which does look good. If I was going full time dd a vaddy is not the right machine. The slots don't close well enough if the soil is wet. I think it really needs more pressure on the coulters. Maize trash can build up very quickly the stalks will hook up on the links around the coulter. 3 rows of seed coulters and no level bar may improve this. I always drill slowly when dd not more than 12kph and probably less. I also increase the seed by 5% to counteract the slot closing. Bg [/QUOTE]
