When comparing disc vs tyne seeders, stubble handling often becomes the deciding factor. West Wyalong farmer Rob Hensley fitted RYAN NT Double Discs to his RFM air seeder to sow through heavy residue without blockages, achieving reliable crop establishment even in a dry season.
Many Flexicoil Air Seeder Frames and Morris Air Seeder Frames now sit idle as farms upgrade to larger systems. This article explores why these frames are no longer sold, how second-hand markets have changed, and how WA pasture farmers are successfully putting older equipment back to work.
Farmers explain how RYAN NT Double Discs cut through heavy stubble, pasture residue, and trash, supporting zero till farming and stubble retention without blockages.
Real farmer feedback on RYAN NT Double Discs shows why they’re trusted as reliable seeding equipment — keeping seed going in wet, rocky, and demanding conditions without clogging or stoppages.
Farmers aren’t looking for fluff — they want their seeding gear to deliver a reliable strike across the whole paddock. To see how RYAN NT upgrades are tracking in real Australian conditions, we spoke with farmers who’ve fitted RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs and Spring Coil Press Wheels to their existing machines.
To understand how RYAN NT discs are performing in the field, we spoke with a range of farmers across the country who have retrofitted their existing australian farm machinery with RYAN NT Retrofit Discs. Their feedback reveals just how impactful these discs have been on their planting speed, efficiency, and day-to-day workload.
Disc seeding is a major part of Australian zero-till, with many growers reporting faster sowing, smoother residue flow, and more consistent seed placement when machines are set up well. Despite the benefits, cost and performance trade-offs still shape adoption, especially in wet or heavy-trash conditions. This guide draws on operator feedback and machine specs from Kondinin Group’s independent 2016 disc seeder review.
In the rocky terrain of Fielding, New Zealand, dairy farmer John Ellis faced a serious seeding challenge, one commonly found with Duncan Seed Drills. After relocating to a new property riddled with embedded stones and hard ground, his once-reliable tyne drill became more of a problem than a solution. “The first season I did it with my tyne drill… a paddock full of stones appeared behind me,” John said. “It was horrible.”
This blog explores how upgrading your ground-engaging systems—whether it’s retrofitting discs on fertiliser rigs or adding coil press wheels to billet planters—can lead to tangible gains. We break down the performance differences, outline the risks of sticking with outdated gear, and highlight how smart retrofits can improve crop establishment, reduce downtime, and deliver higher long-term returns.
David Cawrse, shares his thoughts after the 2023 planting season. David used two RYAN NT products for this season: the Retrofit Discs fitted to his AFM bar and the Coil Press Wheels installed on his Ezee On bar. These innovations have allowed David to achieve exceptional seed placement, improved crop establishment, and consistent performance.
