[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7110559, member: 44728"] So far so good. I am drilling Linseeed into W Barley stubbles. What has really surprised me is how well it is drilling into the heavier land. The earlier dry weather followed by the rain has seems to have left it in good condition and friable. The discs are penetrating really well and the slot is covering well too. This has allowed me to drill at up to 9k. I recon I could drill 20ha a day quite happily. This year has also played into my hands, because the Winter Barley stubbles greened up nicely without the need for a cover crop. Especially with Fools Parsley. I Roundup’d them off a week ago, but it either is slow at killing it or there has been a hell of a flush in a week. It drills through it no trouble whatsoever. The one thing that I’m not wanting to do is bother with cover-crops. Which I will get way with this year. W Barley will follow the Wheat, which is most of the area I have ploughed and will Combi-drill, but have left some for the GD to drill. [USER=3357]@Warnesworth[/USER] has told me that DD is more likely to struggle as a 2nd wheat - Ours will all be W Barley. IIRC, [USER=1232]@SilliamWhale[/USER] also said Barley can be a struggle. Our Wheat will follow what was left of the Rape and was replaced with Spring Oats. Hopefully most of this will be GD’d, provided that we don’t make too much of a mess harvesting the Oats. [/QUOTE]
