[QUOTE="Bomber101, post: 7551239, member: 549"] We ploughed and power harrowed behind maize and followed (briefly) with our sabre tine this year. We aimed to do the maize like this as a mounted drill would cope if it was wetter. We failed! The loose maize stalks wrapped around the coulter and blocked the outlet within meters. Perhaps if we were going deeper then the counter opening would have been deeper and we would have coped. Perhaps we should have not cultivated but as a first timer after maize worried about fusarium - perhaps worried too much - so ploughing seemed sense. We did try and change the counter angle but I think we guessed wrong in our adjustments - we thought perhaps it was too loose and puffy and we should have adjusted for too much trash. We drilled it with the Vaderstad which worked fine as the disc cut through and it was dry enough but establishment is not as good as we would like. We drilled spring beans this spring into worked and rolled ground from the autumn. It worked really well and put the seed in deeper than we could with the Rapid so more thought needed this autumn after maize! We like the drill a lot but we need to work out where to use and when to get the most out of it. [/QUOTE]
