Simon Pain’s combination power harrow and drill is used to sow wheat on 1st November 2011. Wheat is normally sown in late September to November but can be sown as late as February.
The power harrow is used to break up the clods of soil that are left after ploughing. The soil is left with a finer finish with a good soil structure that can be used as a seedbed. The combination power harrow and drill is more efficient since both operations are performed at the same time.
The video shows seeds dropping from the drill into the soil. These clips of the video are in slow motion with the seed highlighted so you can clearly see the small seed.
