[QUOTE="kiwi, post: 7056365, member: 5736"] Have been holding off asking this question on this forum and have asked on the weaving gd WhatsApp. i have noticed when drilling in the middle middle hole for cereals that seed placement varies from halfway to the bottom of the slot with the very odd seed on top. So I have drilled with one hole shallower but end up with to many seeds on top. It is very frustrating as some seeds have trouble coming up from depth of the middle middle hole and it seems many just up the seeding rate to compensate for this. I drill at about 8km and have the scrapers and also the weaving rubber flap which helps but still not acceptable in my view. Carefully watching it seems like there is considerable seed bounce and so have tried lower fan speed but no help really. So how do others over come this and is there a company in the u.k that makes something similar to the Keeton seed firmer used on JD drills for the weaving? Another issue is hairpinning in peas straw and reddish straw as ground is softer. [/QUOTE]
