[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 7801785, member: 305"] Now need a 4th set will use the 3rd set now they are worn down to 14 and a bit inches and use them as small disc new set is 16 inches did this with a big disc where the small disc wears down slower and continued with gd never had new small discs but do replace wobbly bearings drilling about 3500 acres per year and now will replace the big disc every year letting it wear down past 14 inches is a false economy I also check the disc diameter when setting depth especially those behind the tractorwheels /combine track ( on controlled Traffic ) wheat wear can be higher in dry hard years in all since 2012 been notill except when we diaced after rape the first year we had gd and got murdered by slugs (rained every day between drilling and emergence could not roll and pellets would have washed away ) when ever I have drilled on the green into osr stubble never had a failure and never used slug pellets this year drilled on the green into linseed /rape 18inches Cover rule of notill 2 weeks earlier in the autumn is not wrong if black grass is bad then alter rotation later drilling only works when it is dry enough for a week after drilling 1 in 5 years at best [/QUOTE]
