Innovative seed establishment solutions. The range of drills incorpate deep loosening allowing for sowing into stubble, min till or plough base systems.
Combi-plus is designed for tractors from 130hp. The drill can be used to sow cover crops with legs set at only 50mm or lift discs out of work and cultivate to create a stale seed bed, before returning to sow next crop or just go straight into the stubble or lifted potato/sugar beet ground. If you require just a power harrow drill then simple remove the legs. Combi-plus 12/24 Twin

Quick update on the direct drilling done on 23rd of May the seeds have germinated hopefully a rain will keep it going. The Zone direct drill is available on the FETF 2026 grant.
Our Zone direct drill sowing into a grass pasture. The leading disc is cutting the grass sword reducing the disturbance but will this be the best approach? Will the tine only side have a better seed establishment because the original grass growth will be reduced and the new seed will less competition?
Direct drilling today with our 6m Zone tine drill which is setup in 2 configurations to show them both working. On the left of the video is 12 J J Metcalfe and Son Ltd 12mm wide tine coulters in 3 rows then depth wheels and following harrow which is slightly raised on the ground. On the right in the video is 12 cutting discs then 12 sowing tines in 2 rows, then the following harrow slightly raised and finally 12 press wheels which are also depth control. The tractor was travelling at 10 kph.

Only a single run up the field today for this new 4m Zone direct tine drill as its still to wet underneath.
