Hi.
We’re
looking to experiment with a no-till drill and have been given a lot of
advice, all different and none of it is from farmers, just manufactures and retailers.
We liked the
look of the Weaving Machinery Caddy which uses discs and were very impressed, especially
with the low horsepower requirements; however i have been told that the discs
will wear very fast and are expensive to change.
We farm on
heavy clay with lots of flints (on the edge of the Chilterns) so the soil does
wear metal a lot and makers of tined drills (KRM 1909 soladrill) say tined
drills are the only way for us to go.
Does anyone
use any no-till drills on hard, wearing ground and which is the way to go,
discs or tines?
Will
