[QUOTE="Cutlerstom, post: 3701702, member: 15572"] I don't know how you would get the fert/seed separation as it all goes down the same tube. That is where the cross slot is brilliant. I have seen a big reduction in weed germination, especially when drilling spring crops. Last year I didn't need any herbicide in my spring beans drilled with gd direct. I drilled some after cultivation and there was a big weed burden on those. I have found that 8kph is about the maximum speed you can do if you want true zero disturbance. If you go faster the disc creates some throw, and also more seed gets flicked out. what are you drilling the grass seed into? If it's reseeding grass ley then it would be no problem. However I have found drilling linseed into wheat stubble a challenge as to cut the straw you need to drill at depth. But then the linseed was too deep. Drill to shallow and there is more hairpinning as the disc is not cutting deep enough to cut through if that makes sense. If you know it's going to rain behind the drill it's easy! [/QUOTE]
