[QUOTE="kiwi, post: 3698050, member: 5736"] I have been most interested in the comments about the weaving gd. Having no access here in New Zealand to one working I wonder if someone could answer some questions about it. We have had a Dale seedhawk drill since 2003 which has been successful and prior to that hired a cross slot drill but had trouble with disc stall with that drill. 1. We see a huge benefit from granulated fert placement in the spring in dry conditions, how do weaving gd operators deal with that? 2. How well does the drill work sowing small seeds at consistent depth e.g brassicas and clover Seeds? 3. I imagine that seed vigour is very important as with the cross slot? 4. Is it a high wear machine? 5. Is there any smearing of the slot in damp soil below the seed? Our Dale drill as I said has been successful but in high straw loads we have to have no dampness on the straw when drilling which some days can hold up operations and of course it is higher disturbance . The disturbance means seed vigour isn't as important as with disc drills but we do get higher weed seed disturbance. [/QUOTE]
