Claydon 6m V drill **New Pic Update**

[sipher172]

I am in process of designing one of these so I can scratch build one but I am struggling to design the folding system.  If anyone has a photo of one folded that would be great, any other photos would be helpful as well.

Thanks.

Have you tried British Farming Forum - several guys on there either run or have run these drills

Here are my plans what do you think?

I've never seen one of these in the flesh before. Is that V formation fixed or halfway folded between transport and a wider working width...? Looks like being a nice build.... nothing stopping you now, better get cracking!

They are very popular for sowing rape.  I have posted a picture of the real thing.

I presume the V formation helps them keep clear of trash when sowing into stubbles....
