Which tool for min till

[bobk]

I think if you are umming and arring about min till you probably shouldn't do it

Better try some and see what happens , I found the chemical bill wiped out the cultivation savings

 

[Phil P]

PM’d you

Lot's of expensive heavy metal mentioned so far.
Won't Moore type drills work on heavy ground ?
If I give up the plough, I only want one implement to replace plough/ PH / air drill.

PM’d you

You have forgotten the other benefits, no roundup spray, less weeds, natural blackgrass suppression less carry over of disease, etc etc... plus no expense on extra kit.

You can only plough blackgrass down once. A plough is useful against blackgrass but only once every few years.

My friend on some stiff stuff has just gone down the trio followed by combi drill , his only comment was that his drill didn’t like the trash from the trio compared to his ploughing based system. He’s got an Andrew guest combi .

thats what I have

One pass after the plough is not mans land, if it works why change, it wont be cheaper?

Mans land stops being hard to work if you don`t compact it

With 150hp, decent set of discs and subsoil when necessary but do it early and spray off before drilling.

Intend having a word with him at Yams

Main reason for looking is for the new SFI scheme thats coming out ( think thats what it`s called)
You need to min till a certain % of land
Payment should cover cost of SH machine
May even be tempted by a SH Simtech drill

Oh and tax bill was far to high this year

I phoned. He didn’t do spring release. Grange machinery do @ £15kish for a 3m!?

I’ve got a 3m 7 leg tined cultivator for sale if anyones interested . Good metal on it, just needs a shine up . And a 3 leg cousins subsoiler with new points and wings ready to go on. £5.5k buys them both .

I'll just subsoil and go.
This year did half like this and half ploughed.
Results at harvest. Looks the same now.
I've direct drill here if anyone asks I did some with that.

I have been looking at the Simtech since I saw one at Groundswell, I've applied for the grant, will wait and see if I get it.

I bought a sh 2018 dalbo 300 supermax last autumn it has
done a very good job but it is very heavy as it has double ring
rollers .Its been pulled with a MF7726 and you wouldn't want
anything much lighter on it.
