It looks good in the photo anyway. Just comparing the rings on the rexius with those on the simba, the rexius ring is a nice bit wider with a shoulder on it that must support the weight a little better. I wonder is this why people say that the dd ring was so much better than the cast ring on the simba, because the simba cast ring is quite narrow? Would the cast ring leave the seedbed weatherproof too I wonder?
The cast ring would leave it weatherproof to a certain extent. We would be on light soils here so it wouldn't be a major concern but the man that had the press would be on heavier ground and noticed that it did weatherproof the soil. Also improved work rates with the drill. He sowed with a rapid and noticed a improvement. We sowed with a 3m one pass and did notice a gain in workrate but not to the same extent.
