Hi Jarid, firstly we have a 6m demo machine in Kenya that we are looking to move to South Africa because we have several farmers who want to try it. Would you be interested in a seeing it run when we get it to SA? Drop me WhatsApp / text on +447852794722 and we’ll get a plan together. Regarding trash, that’s no problem for the dsx disc and what it’s designed for, you have the option of 15cm, 16,7cm, 19,7cm, 20cm and 25cm row spacing, clearly the wider you go the more clearance there is. Regarding downforce, because of the 10 degree disc angle, the row unit naturally pulls itself into the ground so it penetrates very well. Depending on drill weight and amount of coulters, typically the maximum downforce is between 250kg and 300kg Do let me know if you want to have a look in SA. Charlie

We could do that with liquid but not really with granular. You can sow alternate rows with different products so you could set it up on 15cm row spacing with every other row sowing the cash crop at 30cm spacing and then the feet could go in between

Ha, yes. You’ll struggle to find a better no-till disc drill package, that’s why we’ve now sold them into 26 countries worldwide, we’re only 4 years old!

😂 A highly debatable statement!

Overbury?

Hi, I am told the customer is Arvi Kruussalu near Pärnu. It was sold by Karlis at our Latvian dealer Graintech

Hi, we have DSX running on hills all over the world and it’s fine. We typically recommend 35hp per metre on the DSX and that is accommodating for hills, on the flat 25hp per metre is fine. Across a steep hill the drill can grab a little bit but because it is typically working in unmoved soil and because the discs face different directions (left and right) the crabbing is minimal in comparison to machines working in moved soil that have nothing to hold them in place

Hi, yes I’ll try and do some follow up videos following crops through their cycle. Regarding heavy clay, discs and tines. Firstly the Horizon trial farm is 350ha of low lying (whole farm above or below sea level by half a metre), heavy silty clay(from 30-60% clay content). With such low lying clay and the silt pulling the clay together, no-till is not easy and cannot be a ‘1 size fits all approach’. We have a deep tine in the rotation for strip till row crops, use cover crops / living roots as much as possible. We are also not afraid to use cultivations if the soil conditions are not suitable for no-till. The huge rainfall in Lincolnshire this year has meant a lot of our soils have gone incredibly tight and lost all the air so we are having to do corrective work to get that back on side. A different soil type would have handled that rainfall a lot better, both the drills in this video are in high rainfall areas (Gloucestershire and Aberdeenshire) but the soil types can handle the rain better than our sea level bottomless clay Disc and tines both have pros and cons, the disc will always win in terms of seed placement, drilling into cover crop and stealth no disturbance drilling but a tine clearly moves more soil for drainage and mineralisation and can also offer advantages in wet clays

Hi Jonas, yes the downforce is regulated by a hydraulic block at the front of the drill where the operator can adjust the pressure. This is then delivery by cylinders in the parallelogram

Hi Jonathan, I was in Sweden 2 weeks ago setting up our first DSX which is with a farmer about 1 hour west of Stockholm at Munsö. I have also sold another DSX to a farmer near Eskilstuna which will be delivered in July. I am actively seeking a dealer/dealers in Sweden and I’m bringing the DSX to Borgeby in June.

My number is +447852794722 drop me a text / WhatsApp etc, it would be great to learn more about your farm and discuss the dsx in more detail. Charlie

@@charlieeatonhorizon great response! Yes, I heard last week about Adam Giertta the farmer from Stockholm and his new drill! Hope I will see you and have a chance to talk on borgeby!

I’d also like to see how the liquid fert works also 😁

Hi Luke. I will get a video done on calibration and the fert for you. We have 5 DSX in New Zealand now but none in Australia, perhaps you could be our first?

My guess for 1st and 2nd are the price and the lifespan of the opener pivot points.

On it 👍

@@charlieeatonhorizon That's great, thanks

I’ll see what I can do Richard, my next trip to Scotland is at the end of Sept for Tillage Live but I’ll get the customers to send me some pictures / videos

Thanks Ed, I just need to get a few more sold into Wiltshire 👀

Thanks Mavinder

Hi David, thanks for your kind comments and also feedback on the lid. It’s designed to lock up at 90 degrees to act as a secure handrail but you’re right we can make access slightly easier and certainly put it on hydraulic rams. Charlie

@@charlieeatonhorizon agree about the hand rail function being important. Not sure what the solution is but it’s difficult not to hit (my red version’s) lid with a bag or bin and if it gets bent it could lose the air seal!
