See @Suddy 's comment above...

A Rapid. Working very well judging by the latest photos.

A Rapid is a cultivator drill, how come it can do such low disturbance?

Have you taken all the discs and tines off?

 

[Adeptandy]

A rapid has straight discs and rtk could put it between the rows with system tines or system disc removed.

 

[Suddy]

No rtk. Good old marker arm. Two rows of seed discs and cultivation discs removed. Still have the Fertiliser discs on but they are raised. Winter project to put Fert next to seed.

first drill we used for DD was a rapid

worked great when there was moisture but lacked coulter pressure when it got dry

It comes down to your soil type picks your drill. 11 years hardcore DD and getting my soil chemistry right allows me to get away with using the rapid. I have the seedhawk as backup for new ground. I think that if soils turn to concrete, soils aren’t ready for a disc drill hence having two drill types. At home now drill selection depends on the crop going in. Cereals with the rapid. Break crops with seedhawk. After trials at home found the narrow rows yielded more in cereals.
