Wow!

For the price of 1 goofy hydraulic hose and with an empty bin and drum, this old planter is pushing the max at 11 oz of air pressure. Didn't even touch the air-flow control knob.

You outdid yourself on this one, ol' Buddy!

Finaly got down to this post. That is sure a pretty sight! I am not so surprised. The family said they used it last spring and it looked like it had been shedded. Let me know how it goes planting the deer runs.

Allen, you're gonna what, FARM ??? Aren't those PINE TREES I see in the background?? What's the deal?? You can't farm on poor timber/pine soil, I don't thing??? Pretty poor location for a 6 row planter, 686 and 966, I'd think. You'd have a hard time paying or the diesel fuel at 2.25 a gallon...Cmore

Looks good Allen. I never had much experience with the 400/500 models, but I sold euipment for an IH dealer when the 800's wer popular. They woudl rally do no till in about any conditions. I saw one advertized in the paper today, 4 row unit for $900.00. Don't know if that is high or not.

Allan, we had one of those, 4 row, 38" spacing on wheels, but it just never ceases to amaze me that those things can be lifted clear off the ground by the three point. You'd think with a load of seed they'd just be too heavy. Looking good out there, Harley

Well,

Actually, they really aren't all that heavy; they just look that way; 'bout the same as a plow, I'd guess.

My neighbor used to have a 12 row hanger. That thing looked like an airplane and was really just two of these 6-row units glued together on the same toolbar and having two seed hoppers, drums and blower drives.

On the end of the field, he used to "back around" and over to the next run 'cause there usually wasn't enough room to swing that big dude around. He pulled it lengthwise down the road, tho.

See ya,

Allan

Here's the rear view of the ol' darlin'. As you can see, there just isn't much to 'em.

Looks good there Allan. Does it make the front end a little light and you cant steer very good.

I had a 4 row 3ph junk Deere lister I would hang on my 706. When boxes were filled the front end got kinda light. Made a good excuse if rows were crooked. And I had about 600#"s hanging on the front. Any how Allan,have fun with it and be careful.

Hi Steve,

Naw, don't even know it's back there other than that screamin' sound.

I had saddle mounted liquid tanks on the tractor of my old setup; that kept the nose down where it belonged. :>)

Allan

I didnt use liquid fertalozer so no tanks. Had dry fertalizer boxes on the lister. You planting 30 or 36" rows. What will be your seed spacing or plant population/acre. I planted dryland at 9" seed spacing and 36" rows. No,you dont know they are behind there. I planted in low 4 at about 4.5mph.

Be careful. steveormary

Hi Steve,

6 X 30" rows at 33,000 plants would be what? 'bout 6 1/2" I 'spose.
