We've had one of these for 5 years now and tend to use it after first cut at the end of June. Have found that using it just before spreading slurry works well and help get the grass up and away quickly, as well as helping to give a lot of good lush leafy grass. We were also told that to have the best effect it should be done when the ground is dry as this increases the cracking effect.
Hi Dan thanks for sharing this video with us. It will be interesting to see how much it helps your fields. People do say they make a big difference to there land specially after 1st cut.
Have one with 2 years seeing good results fields drier and less fertilizer needed but do when ground dry or slits will close if soft I put 2 blue barrels on mine
I usually go out slitting in the autumn, as you said, helps let the water through, also the cold to help soil heave (if it gets cold enough 😣) I'd commented on farmer P's videos about it. I think it's worth doing but ours is only an old sports field version on a te20
Really good 👍 would really appreciate if you could do a update and you honest opinion thinking of getting one but still not sure we got very stone ground so not sure if it would work thanks 👍

A good machine built by a local company just 12 miles up the road from me in Forfar 👍👍
I live about 40 miles from that factory and always get my Bridie's when going past there. 🙂👍
Great video, all you need now is a set of drag harrows and you can slit and chain harrow all in one pass.
Well wear , eagerly awaiting ur findings.
Always curious about how effective that machine was, I am anxiously awaiting your opinion, thanks for the vid!
Looks a good bit of kit 👍
Had one of this I got good results with it

Can you do a farm tour equipment tour of all your tractors and implements thanks love the vids
Good looking machine 😀
Does the weight of the slurry pipe dragging over the ground close the slits up

Probably should wait untill the ground is a bit drier then it creates more of a shattering effect to relive the compaction
Perhaps do a trial in future ,and leave say half an acre without slitting ,then treat it all with slurry etc as normal and compare the results?
👍👍
Yuo must have a good dry farm we cant get on to the land at mo we wood just make a mess
Could you do a video of the digger in the background
👍
What ever good your doing yourdoingmore harm with the tractor packing theground..good luck..
