Goops....we are all posting at the same time. I dont think you will need much more than what you got Brad. Maybe could fashion some chains out of some scraps.......but I would try what you got first. For your purposes.....I would not spend any more money. if for some reason you have some problems due to unusual soil conditions......You could always drive over the seed trench with a wheeler. It would give some kid a feeling of importance. Grin.

How is that set up to change population? You can't unless I get different spokets. It's set for 28k at 30" rows. I can adjust this planter from 38" -30". That sucks. Here is a chart for seed spacing so you know where you are at. Did the guy tell you he thought it was set at 28,000?

The problem with this setup is it was originally in 8 row planter that you could adjust the entire system with different sets of sprockets by moving the chain which obviously they cut down into four different units now and had to supply new ones for each planter. I'm not. 100% sure but I thought he said 28k at 30" rows was the norm maybe it was 32" He said he runs his cash crop farm at the same rate. So hopefully if what I said is wrong them I'm wrong. And he has it right |

Particularly if you want to plant something else other than what it's setup for. Your unit is setup for standard corn which will work fine but if you want to plant something different or change row width you'll have complications. Still for corn you should be fine. |

If you buy 60 cell bean meters and your planter is permanently set at 28,000 for corn, you will plant 140,000 soybean seeds per acre with out changing any sprockets. So that part is good.

As of now mo I'm planning on just sticking with broadcast for beans. And this for corn. You may be good for corn and beans.....from what MO is saying. I'd try it for beans too......beats broadcasting 'em. Run between the first set of rows to get 15" bean rows. That is what I would do.... also doing this may pack your previous rows via the tractor tires.  . |
