Planters and Grain Drills

Anonymous-0 · Jun 9, 2013

Just wondering what everybody uses for planters and grain drills. Old antique stuff or something newer, more modern with more frills?

1982 model Deere 7200 twelve row 30". Plants better than the mega-buck 90' wide 36 row that used to plant my crops. No kidding.

I planted 560 acres a year with a IH 58 6 row 30" and a John Deere A for, lessee, 17 years, then we picked up another 80 so I planted 640 acres a year with that rig till I got a Deere 7000 6 row 30". Used the 7000 a few years, then had it custom done for five years or so. Now I've had the 12 row for three seasons. In my neck of the woods a 12 row is a little on the small side but I don't mind being a little guy. It's paid for, that's what counts. Jim

12 row 7200, 6 row 6000 and drill for grasses.

6 row JD 7000 with dry fert for corn - and this year beans.

15 row IHC 295 units on a 3pt bar, 15 inch spacing with 2 skip rows, for beans the previous 10 years or so, likely in the future again.

IHC 12 foot drill, likely about the first model that came on rubber wheels for small grains and alfalfa.

We use a Van Brunt 20-7" FB drill and a JD 495A corn planter. Usually pull with my Oliver 1600, but Dad likes to use the Massey 285. Especially on the drill with duals on.

What are all the pipes in the back ground for? Irrigation, drainage or a pipeline? Thanks.

I use an 11 hole John Deere Van Brunt grain drill, wood wheels, wood box. It was built about 1921. In the picture it's pulled with my 1937 John Deere B, my 1956 M38a1 military jeep is the seed hauler.
