Thanks lex. I hadn't look too closely at them yet. The opposing disc setup is a neat idea. I probably won't use a disc for canola and if I did I would be temped to run it through the 15" MRB. What I'm really interested in accomplishing is to give cereals and peas a little more space to grow within the row. I'm also looking at trying some low disturbance organic production where I only work the soil once in the spring and try to control weeds with a heavy harrow after that. Furthermore I like the idea of putting high risk crops like chickpea down the MRB and using something like Soft white wheat as a disease break and something to push maturity between rows. I also think it would be slick for planting clover or safoin for plow-down between oats.

Yes you can seed canola on 15" centers but we have had awesome canola crops on 7.5 inch spacing. And we have done it at speeds up to 10 mph with our Amity drill. Our cereals definitely do better on narrow row spacing but canola doesn't seem to care either way.
We put a valmar on the hitch of the drill that we use for canola and in all other crops we use the valmar for inocculants and myke pro.Comment

Amity disk rolls over anything except perfectly sized 6" rocks. Those will get stuck and start plowing.Comment
