RYAN NT Retrofit Discs on an RFM Seeder: Craig Allit’s Experience in Deniliquin, NSW
In Deniliquin, New South Wales, Craig Allit—a grower and contractor—has relied on RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs to enhance the performance of his RFM Airdrill 2300. With over two decades of experience using RYAN NT equipment, Craig shares how the retrofit discs on his RFM Seeder have improved versatility, fuel efficiency, and planting speed across a variety of conditions.
Upgrading an Established System Like and RFM Seeder
Craig first purchased his RYAN NT Airdrill around 1997, outfitting it with 37 sets of double discs on 9-inch spacings. For Craig, the upgrade was an easy choice. “They have never blocked up and give a good level job,” he explained, emphasizing the discs’ reliability even in demanding conditions.

Increased Fuel Efficiency when Operating the RFM Seeder
One of the standout benefits Craig noted was the significant improvement in fuel consumption. By retrofitting his RFM Seeder with RYAN NT discs, Craig achieved noticeable savings. “We’ve gone from 30 hours per tank to 40 hours,” he shared. This increase in efficiency reduces operational costs, allowing Craig to complete planting tasks more economically.

Planting Speed and Versatility Improved on RFM Seeder
The RYAN NT Retrofit Discs on the RFM Seeder have also enhanced Craig’s planting speed, enabling him to achieve faster coverage without compromising accuracy. “We are planting at nearly 11 kph in good going, compared with 8 kph with the tines,” Craig said. This improvement allows Craig to maximize his productivity, particularly during busy planting seasons.
Additionally, the ability to switch between tynes and discs has added another layer of versatility to his machine. “This is a good move with the double discs, particularly with the option to change back to tynes if the situation needs it,” Craig explained. This flexibility ensures that his equipment remains adaptable to varying conditions and crop requirements.
