planter help

Matt (NEIA) · Jul 16, 2011

I am wanting to start doing my own corn and soybean planting. Will need a 6/30 planter to match the hired harvesters combine head. My question is what is a good older planter? Would like a ground driven planter but am open to all suggestions. (if it's an air planter i would probalby need a pto driven pump as the 460 probalby doesn't have the hydrolic capacity? ) Also not a big deal as boxes can probably be added to most planters but would like to have dry fertilizer and herbicide boxes. Would like to stay under the $3,000 dollar mark, thanks for any help or input! Also should mention i do not want a no-till.

A JD 694 ,JD1250 plateless would work.You dont have to plant 6 rows(unless you really want to),you can plant any #of rows-that 6 row combine can pick any # of planted rows-2;4;6;8'12;16,or whatever-all that matters is a good,straight guessrow.I plant 4 rows-3row combine.My neighbor plants 6 rows-4 row combine; another neighbor plants 6 and uses a 8 row combineseveral folks around now are planting 8 rows but use a 6 row combine.

a 7000 jd trail type with finger pickup units for corn or proceeding models,no air vac.or hyd. drives to worry with,if set up and maintained properly they will plant most any size an shape corn accurately,the number of rows you will be able to pull with a 460 will depend on soil types an terrain most likely a 4 row would be good match especially if you apply fertilizer with the planter
