Essex contractor Long Agriplant was filmed sowing winter beans near Hatfield Peverel on December 31st, 2008, using a modified He-Va Subsoiler/packer pulled behind a 195hp Fendt 818 Vario. The combination was sowing the variety Wizard at a rate of 200kg/ha, and at a forward speed of about 7km/hr in quite heavy ground. Daily workrates of more than 30ha have been achieved by the firm, which has spent the past year perfecting the system.
Is that better than drilling them on the surface and then ploughing them down?
