[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 3034240, member: 305"] I have a 9 m gd on notill after beans with the hopper half full it crabs down hill a long way the down hill discs pull down more than the uphill discs because we have lower weight per coulter with 54 coulters this would be less with a narrower drill filled the caddy wheels with water and keep the hopper full but this also adds weight to the tractor the solution will be a weight on the caddy just in front of the big wheels enough to balance the tool bar when it is up all the extra weight will help with slot closing and consolidation on cultivated fields my aim is not to cultivate as it does not help with slugs or pre em efficacy I also found the big disk needed more weight when planting beans in the spring when the ground was drying out but solved it by heaping up the hopper in a loose cultivated situation the big disc needed much less weight not had a blocked coulter on but 3 flat tyres had a top link end break when drilling on the road I ratchet strap the tool bar to the front of the caddy to take the weight of the top link drilling speed 8 k to 10 km with rolling after at higher speeds for 2017 enough weight to avoid rolling giving enough weight on the press wheels with only 1 tonne in the hopper any one weighed their drill and calculated the coulter weight on their set up [/QUOTE]
