The Claydon V Drill was designed in 2003 by Jeff Claydon primarily as a Rape Drill, Jeff then thought that there is no reason that the drill couldn’t be used for Beans and Cereals. The yields have been fantastic from Claydon system with Wheat crops achieving 12.5T/Ha, Rape 5T/Ha and Beans 5T/Ha on heavy clay soils.
The Claydon V Drill is based on a unique, patented design that uses ‘in-line’ tines. The first creates breakage in the soil to allow for drainage around the seed and for easy root penetration, the second tine follows the path of the first tine and lifts tilth whilst injecting the seed, a press wheel and/or a following harrow follow behind to ensure good seed coverage and soil to seed contact.
