After a trial of TurnPath we ended up giving it a go. Worked well to improve the consistency of our turns, it was pretty tight to turn on 120' but skip rowing was great. Section control calculated to have saved 2.7% which should well and truly pay for itself over it's life.

We were a little nervous about the tractor being on 650's but with the dry conditions it was no problem. The Xerion was sitting at 75-80% at 1150-1250 RPM, using 45-50L/hr. AgLeader kept it straight, although we'll see if there are any wobbles as everything comes up!

The residue handling of the Boss was great, everything lined up and the coulters worked well. I think we only had 4 stubble blocks in 2000ha.
After a software update, the Agtron Onyx blockage monitors worked well to pick up a few seed blocks

The dust has settled on sowing for the moment, looking back at some drone videos. After some teething and setup issues we've been impressed by the new setup.
The Xerion was very efficient, Boss bar was bulletproof, Simplicity gave us lots of capacity and Liquid Systems should give a boost to crops

Took a while to get the video off the drone, but we were quite impressed with TurnPath as well!

Getting through residue with tynes by seeding between the rows is relatively easy, but when it's all fallen over like this, your going to need culters!

Sometimes it takes a miss to realise something is working. Perfect example of not collecting weed seeds on our depressed wheeltracks. Without Seed Terminator the entire width would be full of ryegrass

Harvest rolls on with Lentils, finding a window between rain events was a lot easier from April to November
