[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7937224, member: 44728"] If you have a Blackgrass problem, I always worry if you use slats that some of that seed wont be buried deep enough to kill enough of it. If you can bury it at least 2” below daylight, 85% of it will die (each year) before you plough it back up again. With regard Auto-reset, yes they are marvellous in preventing having to replace shear bolts. However, I have had a few occasions where as they move out of the way of a big stone or rock, that they have pulled them up, requiring a trip home to get a tele-handler to get underneath them to remove them from the field. Whereas the shear bolt plough seems to leave them well buried. It may be because a shear bolt plough can only move vertically whereas an Auto-reset can also move sideways, which is enough to roll the rock over and upwards. We know our fields and where to be careful when ploughing. And yes, some definitely need an Auto-reset. But it can be surprising where you can get away with a shear bolt plough. …….on the other hand, sometimes a shear bolt hasn’t gone for so long that when it does, a trip home is needed to get the tele-handler to push the leg down enough to slide a new shear bolt in the hole! …….But at least you don’t need to take the tele-handler up to the field to remove so many rocks!!
