[Paul Ryan - RYAN NT @ryannt_paulryan]

Liam Maynard (Willydah Pty Ltd), Narromine, NSW, takes us through his experience after upgrading his Gason Trashworker tynes to RYAN NT discs to improve their no-kill cropping operation.

**Improve your no-kill cropping operation for 10% of the price of a commercially available disc machine!**

Liam explained that he had always wanted to do a disc machine conversion, telling us he’d never return to tynes after finding the Ryan discs.

“They are an absolutely brilliant thing,” he said.
“Virtually bolted straight up.

“Didn’t have to change any existing spring units on the machine.

“It’s just a basic modified shank, and everything else fits together perfectly.

“Absolutely love the design, the ease of use and the low maintenance.”

Liam was impressed by the price point for retrofitting his older bar. He explained that the costs were 10% of the price of a commercially available disc machine straight off the shelf—that does every bit of the same job.

It’s always great to see our customers sharing their farming journey.

Chris Smith from Natimuk, Victoria, was recently featured by Tim Thompson, where he discussed the practical changes he’s making to build a more resilient cropping system. From on-farm composting and biological seed dressings through to lowering input costs, Chris shares what’s working on his 2,400-acre operation.

We’re proud that Chris chose RYAN NT Disc Openers as part of that system. In the interview, he explains why he made the switch from knife points to discs, highlighting improved residue handling, reduced tractor load, lower fuel use and the ability to cover more hectares each day.

A great watch for anyone interested in practical no-till farming and seeing RYAN NT discs working in real-world Australian conditions.

Thanks to Tim Thompson for producing another excellent video and to Chris for sharing his experience.

Griffith, NSW Riverina 🌾

Father-and-son team Peter and Jack Tyrell upgraded their RFM Colt Series air seeder with RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs, and it changed how they plant. Cleaner runs through residue, steadier depth across variable country, and fewer stoppages when conditions turn tricky. After several seasons, they say the setup has lifted confidence and efficiency right across their program.

Alex Morris, who works with Layton Free at Colliery Park, swapped out rubber gauge wheels after constant blockages and hasn’t looked back.

“The gauge wheels have worked well. The rubber wheels were always blocking up. We find they perform better than a spoked rubber wheel.”

He also likes that the gauge wheel runs as a scraper against the disc, clearing mud before it becomes a problem and keeping placement steady when it’s sticky.

Busselton, WA dairy country. 🐄

Ian McGregor adapted his homemade toolbar with RYAN NT Retrofit Double Discs and changed how he plants. Cleaner cut through ryegrass trash, steadier seed-to-soil contact, and a setup that keeps moving when conditions get tricky. Simple gear, used well.

If you are weighing up an upgrade for pasture and fodder work, Ian’s story is worth a look.

Seven years on in Wickliffe, VIC! 🌾

Broadacre grower George Burdett retrofitted his parallelogram Janke bar with RYAN NT Double Discs, and it changed how he plants. Cleaner sowing, fewer blockages, and the confidence to keep moving when conditions turn tricky. The setup cuts through residue, holds depth, and helps the paddock settle quicker after the pass.

Thinking about an upgrade for your own bar? George’s story is a good place to start.

RYAN NT at it again for 2026. 💪

Inverell, NSW: an Agrow Drill fitted with RYAN NT Discs and Press Wheels putting in tidy work. Clean cut through residue, consistent placement, better press on the row. Start earlier, keep moving when it’s a bit sticky, and hold more moisture where it counts.

We’re genuinely grateful for your support this year. Your loyalty and friendship keep us going, and we don’t take that for granted. Our passion for helping farmers lift productivity is as strong as ever.

It hasn’t been an easy season in parts, but seeing our team and the farming community pitch in, adapt, and get on with it has been brilliant. Thanks for sticking with us through it all.

With 2026 around the corner, we’re excited for what’s next and look forward to working with you again.

Wishing you and your families a safe, happy festive season.

Cotton country near Dalby, QLD 🌾

Grower Mark Valler runs 550 acres under crop and fitted a full set of RYAN three-coil gauge wheels to his eight-row John Deere MaxEmerge 1700. He’s planting cotton into heavy black soil with good clay content, irrigated from ring tanks fed by the Condamine River.

Last season ran a touch late while they waited on chook manure, so sowing kicked off in late November. Even so, the setup handled it. Mark planted dry at roughly a quarter inch, on one-metre spacings, travelling 8 to 9 km/h.

His take? The coils crumble through clods better than hard wheels, hold a more even depth, and reduce bounce across the bar. They also let him keep moving in a light shower, start earlier in the morning, and generally give him more room to work with the weather.

“I’m very happy with the coil gauge wheels and would definitely recommend them.”

Last year, we caught up with Kevin Mannes in Coleambally, NSW.

Kevin fitted RYAN NT Discs to his Horwood Bagshaw Scaribar and had completed seven plantings at the time, mainly for grain crops. He shared his experience using the setup and the results he’d seen in the field.

A few years ago, we caught up with George Burdett near Wickliffe after the 2023 planting season. George shared his experience retrofitting RYAN NT Double Discs onto his parallelogram Janke Bar set at 30 cm spacings.

Hear firsthand how the setup performed through the season and what’s changed since making the switch.

Cotton and sorghum grower Ian Valler farms Brigalow scrub soil near Chinchilla, and fitted RYAN three-coil gauge wheels and closing wheels to his four-row Kinze disc opener on one-metre spacings.

After planting around 800 to 1000 acres, Ian noticed the difference.

“The gauge wheels handled the mud well, acting as scrapers for the disc to clear the soil build-up,” he said.

“I thought the coil gauge wheels and closing wheels did a good job. I’m happy with them and recommend them to other farmers.”

Reliable in tough conditions and built to perform, RYAN coil wheels are helping growers like Ian achieve smoother planting and consistent emergence.

Still dealing with uneven seed depth or patchy germination? 🤯

Wide gauge wheels can cause your seeder to bounce, especially when running over old stubble rows. That bounce leads to inconsistent depth, poor seed placement, and uneven germination.

The RYAN NT Coil Gauge Wheel fixes that. Its narrow design drops neatly into soil depressions, maintaining consistent depth across every row. It avoids old wheel tracks and stubble, keeping your planter stable and your seed placement precise. ✅

Thanks to the coil’s cushioning effect, many farmers are now sowing 1–2 km/h faster, with better emergence and higher productivity.

It’s all about performance, precision, and profit, and that’s what RYAN NT is built for.

Queensland cotton grower Glenn Rogan was battling compaction problems that slowed emergence and hurt his yields. His old rubber gauge wheels just couldn’t handle the mix of wet and dry layers in his heavy soils.

Then he discovered RYAN Coil Gauge and Closing Wheels. After a quick trial, Glenn switched all eight planter rows, and the results spoke for themselves:

✅ No more clogging or build-up in sticky soils
✅ Smoother planting with accurate seed placement
✅ 20% better emergence rates
✅ Faster sowing speeds (now 10.5 kph vs. 9 kph)
✅ Easier liquid inject monitoring through the open coil design

Glenn says it best: “Now I can confidently go into a paddock knowing the wheels won’t block up.”

[Paul Ryan - RYAN NT @ryannt_paulryan]

Your planter only performs as well as its row units. If they are not set up right, you see it in your emergence and your yield.

In this blog, we walk through a few simple checks that can make a real difference:

🔹 Shimming opening discs so you get a true V-shaped trench
🔹 Replacing worn seed tube guards so seed reaches the bottom of the trench
🔹 Matching gauge and closing wheels to your conditions for consistent depth and firm seed-to-soil contact

If your planter is due for a pre-season check, this is a handy place to start.
