£230 per leg, so at 250 spacing, 3 per m, so £690 per m for legs, + 1 more at the end

Is that your 6215R or have you changed up?
Will the sabre tine put beans in to 5"?
Thanks

Do you guys loving your Sabretine drills put rape in straight into wheat stubble? Straw chopped or baled? 2 of my neighbours have brand new KRM Sola drills...one has chosen to do quite a bit of cultivating ahead of drilling rape with the Sola (culti-press and low disturbance subsoil/flatlift type of machines). The other has chosen NOT to drill his rape with the new Sola. So what can you achieve with the Sabretine with rape drilling? Bob, you know my soils!

We haven’t drilled osr with our sabretine as we have a disc drill for that job . I can’t really see why the krm wouldn’t drill osr ok if rolled well afterwards.

Last year I drilled OSR direct in to chopped wheat straw (20/8) and baled barley stubble (8/8), both established very well and went on to yield very similar. This year all OSR is still yet to be drilled in to chopped wheat, no concerns about it being a success from a drill point of view

Nearly. I’m looking forward to hearing how you get on with it. I think i would go the whole hog and do the full metcalfe leg…my land sets like rock when it’s dry and I’d be snapping the Simba legs

How deep do you run the tines as drilling tomorrow and didn’t want it in to deep

I aim for an inch average drilling 30 degrees to tramlines. What I found with drilling stubble turnips this year was that going that extra notch deeper hasn’t been a bad thing with it being so dry. And still being so dry in my part of N Yorks

Thanks I have drilled all my turnips and covers so far off the flat lift this year but was going to use the sabre for the osr just not drilled small seeds with it

What are the choices, Sabre tine, Metcalf, any others? Suppose the rolls Royce is the John Dale with the parallel linkage?

Given the distance between the leading tine on the dale and the depth roller, I do wonder how much better, if any, the parallel linkage is over the seed hawk they originally used.
I have bourgault knife openers and seed boots on my tine drill. They are 3/4" wide, but my only gripe with them is with the 1" pigtail tines they are current bolted to. All the 30mm pigtails I seen have a different bolt spacing so I can't just swap the existing units onto stronger tines. I could get new adapters to suit, but that isn't a cheap option.

Drilling lucerne into some Karated land that should have been drilled 3 months or more ago. Now we have some rain, giving it a go with the Metcalfe legs, as fleet as possible, seed tubes high to mix seed with loose soil.
We find that if we have no cover crop or anything growing on the land for 3 months or so, we have to shallow cultivate.

Yes, ours is a Kongskilde vibroflex.
Had a Valmet with the Randells 'R' on it, right on the front cover, was asked if it was a rolls royce motor !

Has anyone moved from a 3 row coulter sabre tine to the latest 4 row version? Is it much better at handling trash?
How much of an angle are others sabre tines we bought this second hand old type sabre earlier this year and done some cover crops/turnips and grass with it. I recon the brackets have rotated round the box a bit is this normal and will they stay put where they are now? We are aiming to put beans into sumo trio then cultipressed ground how deep are people managing to get beans I’m worried that the tine is too narrow and the beans won’t fall down the back of the leg deep enough
