John Deere model 246 corn planter

When I bought the corn planter, it came with about a dozen different plates. Some are metal with John Deere plate numbers and some are plastic. Some of the metal seed plate numbers are in the manual for the planter so I can tell what seed plates they are. The plastic ones have numbers on them but how do I know who makes them and what seeds they are for?

This planter is suppose to plant just about everything but without knowing what seed plates to use they are useless.

Any idea where I can find this info?

Thanks

If you want to check before planting season most seed dealers probably have a chart in their office.

Is your planter a 3 point hitch
we acguired a planter to plant sweet corn it does not have a model number on it. it is a 3point hitch with each unit self driven by the press wheel. Is this something like yours.

Thanks

Lincon Ag products still sells almost any plate you will need.

I believe the plate number references 3 measurements in 32nds of an inch - with, thickness and depth.

A manual for your planter would give you alot of info.
