How’s it fixed on is it one bolt if so I should have patterned it then come up with a marketing campaign that makes out you will get 20t/ha if you use it

When it’s sticky bent them to one side so the crud can fall out the back of the disc

Spotted a Weaving drill going into stubble near the Wyre Forest today. I presume @Wheatland was having a demo. Ideally I would have stopped to look and learn, but I would have had serious ear ache from the other half as I was supposed to be having a day out with her and not farming.
Hope it went well for you.

Not me but I think I know where you saw it. I drove by a sprayed off turf this afternoon that had been recently drilled. It looked pretty wet!Spotted a Weaving drill going into stubble near the Wyre Forest today. I presume @Wheatland was having a demo.

It was at Baveney Farm on the stubble bank. Weaving pick up by the road was the advert.

It didn’t look like ideal conditions. They were just drilling the headlands when I came past.
I think I may have reduced the amount of seed being blown out of the exhausts.
They're pushed too far on the Coulter tubes, they've got a lip inside and by bringing them back up to that point there seems to be much less seed being blown out now.
Weird, be interested if anyone else tries it to know if it helps theirs too.

How tight together do you lot find the discs need to be shimmed?
I've had no trouble when the ground is nice and dry, but trying to late drill WW, in what I thought were reasonable enough conditions, I had a lot of soil building up between some pairs of discs till they stall. To be fair to the GD, unless its very dry, the soil in that particular field always used to turn a shiny plough mould board brown in the first bout.

They should be just touching enough so that I you turn one, it turns the other.
It’s not difficult to do with the shims.
You’d think that if you replace the either disc, you would use the same amount of shims as to took off for each coulter.
But this isn’t necessarily the case and you might need to add/subtract shims.
You should have loads of spares that came with the drill.

That's pretty much how I have been adjusting mine. I guess the conditions were just that bit too sticky then.
