I would have a demo of the Dynamic this Autumn if you come to Kent.

I’ll come along or make a second demo site

I would have a demo of the Dynamic this Autumn if you come to Kent.

We were due to come to Kent this spring and the drill was also going to be at agri south but that’s been cancelled.
If you send your details to [email protected] we will keep you posted when we are going to be in your area.

I hope I'm still on the autumn demo list @Vitu

Shame about Agri South being cancelled for second time, it was postponed last year due to complications at the site or something. I was looking forward to this new event in Kent so hopefully next year it will get going,3rd time lucky!!

Yes your on our radar Brisel

Does any know what kind of price a 6 metre Dynamic would be ?

80 to 90k depending on row width.

Thanks, does it do grain and fert for that?

Yes on 25cm row spacing. Would be slightly more on 19 cm row spacing

Are ther any videos of this drilling through very heavy residue or cover crops?
seems like a cheapened version of cross slot with disc and tyne but I know Baker and Ritchie tried a similar concept before coming up with cross slot concept. I think They found the disc worked quite a lot of the time but not all the time for residue clearance of the tyne.

Hello I have attached the links to some videos of the Virkar Dynamic DC drilling into some cover crops last autumn. The design of the coulter with the Hydraulic pressured front cutting disc allows for all crop residue to be cut prior to the seeding tine meaning drilling into tall dense cover crops is no issue. With great underframe clearance and coulter stagger also helps when drilling into thick crop residues and cover crops. We have seen great results from this machine when working into cover crops. and the design of the coulter with the 35cm of coulter travel and on the move coulter pressure control, makes the Virkar Dynamic a very versatile direct drill.

if you require any more information we are more than happy to help.

Potentially purchasing a stripper header would be interested to know whether you have tried your drill behind stripped straw either with the tine or disc units? Reviews have said a tine wouldn’t work but the Virkar tine has a leading disc and good frame clearance which has more chance than others.

In regards to using the Dynamic DC into a crop that has been stripper headered, We have not tried this currently. With the DC Version I would not see it to be a problem, with the front cutting disc and the underframe clearance and coulter stagger gives you plenty of room to get the crop residue through. On 25cm row spacings you would be able to drill between the previous years rows if on RTK steering which would also help.

The Dynamic D coulter would have no issue drilling into crops that have been stripper headered, with the same underframe clearance and coulter stagger as the DC The disc only coulter would work well.

Both coulters would work in those condition's its just which one would be suited best. having drilled into most scenarios with the Dynamic DC I would be fairly confident that it would perform fine.

Our demo 6 meter Dynamic DC drill we will be having 1 Dynamic D element in there as we now offer 3 coulters that all fit into one chassis and work the same, so it will be a good way of seeing the DC and the D coulter to be working in the same machine to see the results from that.
