jdc Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I've never used 'em but always wondered if they'd gum up on wet clayey soil? The main problem I have is soil sticking to the wheels, rather than sinking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Will you need to put slug bait out on the beet paddocks once the beets are coming up Gav? Probably not on those ones although the two my boss just drilled on a contract farm may do as its heavy slug filled clay soil \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
