3 Condors will put a smile on anyone’s face
William Forsyth farms 2,200 ha in Warwickshire, England and has recently purchased not just one, but three Condor 12001-C’s. Naturally he’s got a big smile on his face. Working with very heavy clay ground the Condor was a natural choice for increased coulter penetration as his previous disc coulter drills did not have the coulter pressure to maintain seed depth.
First having a demo of a Condor in the Autumn of 2023, William and his father Anthony were immediately impressed with the versatility of the Condor. The demo day was particularly wet and on steep ground and they were still able to use it, not just as a direct drill but also going into tilled ground and even ploughed land in unfavourable conditions. What really stood out for them was the accuracy of seed placement “The seed was at completely even seed depth across the entire machine, something we were not used to at all with our previous drill” stated William. “Setting the seeding depth is also surprisingly easy, with a tool on each end of the drill to change the depth of individual coulters, made getting the right seed depth behind the tractor wheeling easy”.
