They look like a nice low up keep anti hairpin opener. They are building a 50 footer for next year it will be a big seller.

No i dont think so we are going to use it as is for a season then add wings to go to 6mtrs also will be designing a frame to make 3mtrs wide when folded.

Are they building full size drills yet? I've got their openers mounted on a Flexicoil 6000 right now.

Finished seeding with it yesterday, did the last 20 acres in the rain...not something I like to do as the fertilizer disks tends to plug at the bottom and spit fertilizer on top of the ground, but at least it's done.

They are going to build 40-50 and 60 foot machines. They build 40 now.

Farmranger how do you like the Piller openers.

They work well for me. Seed and fertilizer
placement are good. Most of the soils here are in
the sandy to loam range.
I have a little bit of clay loam, and if it's too wet
and packed (driven on) there can be some
problems with row closure.

Working with the second set of disks. Got over
9000 acres on the first set.(40 foot machine).
Could have got a little more, but didn't want to
take the chance of having trouble in the middle of
spring seeding.
