August 2016 S/N 8314- Techniques The Moore Unidrill prepares its own mini seedbed by using an angled disc and seed tube coulter tine. All seeds are planted at a constant depth, The points of the Guttler roller slit the ground 305 times per square meter, to give good seed soil contact, however in some conditions another pass with a flat roll is necessary.

MOORE UNIDRILL 300G August 2016 S/N 8314- After silage We prefer to cut the silage first rather than apply glyphosate pre harvest, at the recommended 5 days, as this prevents any wheelings from the sprayer appearing in subsequent crop, also Glyphosate seems more effective on less volume of grass.
