not marketing but more along the lines of production.. 12'' spacing for Spring wheat

Similar here, before any rain, in next field I see a 8810 8" space with poly packers up just as good...maybe $20K value with the AS. Soil needs to be consistent for independent row packing, soft soils seed is deep. C shank can be manually adjusted easily on the go. I seed peat low spots shallow, all up like firm soils. Old tech virtually zero wear, low cost, simple. New Tech a compromise, but less thinking required than depth adjusting. No hired guy would try this hard, just set and go. And can seed all night if needed. Seems like almost every new drill loses all tractor hyd oil sooner or later.

Has anyone done yield comparisons?
I think our bly looks better than any wide space/ narrow opener in this area.

**** partners , you need to get one of those independent million dollar drill
thats no good , lol
FWIW , those 8810's were the best drill ever made !
what is the opener?

agreed but if you ever tried an edge on shank , you would never go back to a C shank
better straw clearance and don't pull themselves deeper into hard ground
