Would dutch openers drill into an established grass ley?

[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6638471, member: 166"] For sowing into well established turf, I'd look for a drill with a leading disc to slice a slot that means the tine won't pull up great big lumps. A DTS or Mzuri has these. The silly discs on the front of a trailed Claydon wouldn't cut the cheese off the end of my d*ck. A set of discs before the drill would chop up the turf a lot. I ran a Carrier over a 2 year IRG silage ley before sowing with a Claydon and it went in fine, though it needed a good rolling afterwards and seed depth was a bit uneven. How big an issue is compaction? You're talking about 2 very different drills in terms of what each will do and what hp each requires per metre of width. If I opted for the Horsch, I'd have a low disturbance subsoiler available to fix problems diagnosed with a spade. [/QUOTE]
