NZ-made Duncan grass drills are being brought into the UK by Dales Agri Sales of Hexham.

This 2.8m wide trailed version uses wavy discs to cut a slot ahead of three rows of  “Baker” boots mounted on heavy-section pig-tail tines.

Primarily the unit is designed for rejuvenating existing grass leys but I can be used to direct-drill kale, turnips, rape or even cereals, according to the company. Prices start from £12,500.
