What do you want to know have 12 row unicorn here
How do...just after sensible operating speeds of someone using one! Is yours an e drive?
Yes e drive 5/7 k k. Speed wise. But changed cell wheels to 7 holes made a big difference to how fast they turn . Check holes in cell wheels think it's 5 or 5.5 mm use a punch , or if worn they put more on or get doubles or a miss as two gets in hole and cuts one . Run tungsten coulters they done by metcalfes up in Yorkshire as drill into a lot of flinty sand . Run on 18 inch 45 cm rows , check the box that it works when on tramline sequence as ours played up a bit as when on tramline it puts extra seed on either side of tramline ours used to switch one off or constantly say was not running , but it was and needed anew circuit board , . And check magic eyes are working in bottom of coulter that watches seed coming out for blockages or you run out , you need a tooth brush to keep them clean , we don't tramline now drill on a slight angle to tramlines same as folk do in rape or beans , seems better than if you get out of trammie you don't run another row down . Good drill and good back up from local dealer or Garfords
Thanks Will, that makes a lot of sense! Having issues with seed dressing picking up on side covers on current drill of customers! Thank you very much
Have got a set of horse shoes and backing plates we changed when put 7 hole cell wheels on , check how worn they are ... they are used but might help. , to compare and have you set the little ejector thing , would take a picture but drill put away and at other farm . Mark at Garfords is your man
