Flexi-Coil Parts Upgrade: Gavin Offerman’s Experience with RYAN NT Retrofit Discs in Pilliga, NSW
At the 2024 Ag-Quip Field Days, Paul Ryan caught up with Gavin Offerman. Gavin, a farmer from Pilliga, New South Wales, discussed his three-season experience after upgrading his Flexi-Coil parts with RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs. He has a Flexi-Coil ST820 bar, which is nearly a 50-foot machine operating on foot spacings. Gavin shared how these discs have transformed his seeding operations across diverse soil conditions.
Upgrading Your Flexi-Coil Parts to RYAN NT Retrofit Discs
Gavin installed the retrofit discs on his Flexi-Coil ST820 three seasons ago. This equipment upgrade enabled his machine to handle a wide range of farming challenges. The transition to discs was seamless, and the results have been consistently positive. “We’re pretty happy with the performance of it,” Gavin said. “It’s done everything we expected it to.”
For farmers looking to upgrade their existing Flexi-Coil setups, the RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs offer a straightforward and effective solution. By incorporating these discs as part of your Flexi-Coil parts upgrade, you can enhance your equipment's capabilities without investing in a brand-new seeder.
The nearly 50-foot seeder, equipped with additional tynes, has performed flawlessly with the retrofit discs, delivering reliable results across Gavin’s property.

Handling Diverse Soil Types After Upgrading Flexi-Coil Parts
One of the standout features of the RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs is their ability to adapt to varying soil conditions, a crucial factor for Gavin’s operations. “I’ve got a mixture of black river soil flats, hard country, and some softer, sandier country,” Gavin explained. His property also includes areas of brigalow country, known for its unique challenges.
Whether upgrading your Flexi-Coil parts for tougher soils or simply improving adaptability across diverse terrain, the retrofit discs provide an effective and durable solution. “Machine handles the lot,” Gavin stated confidently, highlighting the discs’ versatility and reliability.

Efficient and Easy to Pull After Switching Out Flexi-Coil Parts
In addition to their adaptability, the RYAN NT discs have significantly improved the efficiency of Gavin’s operations. The ST820, set on foot spacings, requires minimal horsepower to operate effectively. “Very easy to pull, although I’ve got a very big tractor on it,” Gavin shared. “That’s only to hold it above the ground. Not a lot of horsepower required at all.”
The discs’ compatibility with existing Flexi-Coil parts ensures a smooth integration, reducing fuel consumption and wear on machinery. For farmers managing large-scale seeding operations, this compatibility translates into measurable cost savings.

His satisfaction underscores the durability and reliability of the retrofit discs, which have exceeded his expectations in every aspect.
