Weaving GD user thread

[jack6480]

I’ve been thinking today, with a gd as the discs wear and you love them closer together so they are touching. Does the V angle between the two discs get wider? So in theory it makes it harder to shut. Or is that not a problem

Aha!
Well, it has been said that if somebody tells you black is white over and over again for long enough, eventually you will believe them!

BTW, I think it was a some bloke called Luke who actually said that.

Maybe even @Warnesworth!


Bloody dark here all of a sudden, isn’t it? Better go and polish my plough mouldboards up a bit more.

You know what curiosity did to the cat, don't you?

As far as using a free signal like Egnos to drill with, forget it. We tried using Egnos for quite a few years for a variety of jobs. It was useable for rolling or raking but couldn’t even keep accurate to half a metre or more some days.
That tractor now has rangepoint which is accurate and reliable enough to drill on.
If I was using Egnos with my 4 metre Simtech I didn’t and used my eyes instead.

RTX works fine for drilling. You get the odd drift if you leave a field or overnight but its pretty good

From what I've seen of your land it would DD lovely. But you will rely on roundup! Whether you feel this is a good or bad thing is up to you. I admit it feels a shame we have to rely on one burndown active to make things work at the moment but you never know we may evolve it better in due course. To have two or three burndown options would be brilliant.

See you at Groundswell - I'll have a mankini for you in my bag! - lightly used, size small but it should stretch a bit

My usual Agronomist Keith is 83 and having to be a little careful at the moment for obvious reasons. So a good friend and Colleague of his Richard, took a look at it today and the Oats have germinated. We had a nice little drop of rain last night, but I suspect they had started germinating prior to the little drink that they have just had. So, so far so good!

I never took into account drilling covers, so effectively drilling everything twice.

 

[ih1455xl]

Yep I never thought of that either plus keep get asked by the recreational cultivating neighbours to do more drill big for them best I can do is 50acre a day

Not the best of photos, sorry.
What interests me is that there are green leaves before it actually emerges out of the ground
