Mounted Planter

Jugum · Apr 5, 2012

This is the planter i'm currently working on . I don't know what model it is . I'm having trouble finding corn plates and the plates that i have are allowing seed to slide between the plate and the knocker, when i install a filler plate the cogs won't engage the seed plate. Just really looking for some advice from somebody with some experience with this planter.

Thanks,
Jug

What you have looks to be cultivaors and fertilizer side
dressers... side dressers are different then planters. The corn
planter for a h or m tractor is the model hm220. Side
dressers are used with the mounted planter to fertilize while
planting.

Before I read the reply I thought to myself " that looks just like the 2 row mounted cultivators we had when I was a kid. I still have the original cultivators and owners manual by the way.

The bottom picture is a planter bottom with a corn plate in it. Thus the whole unit is a planter, the openers are missing. Most of the planters IH made were the same, except the mounting brackets which were different for different tractors.

I am not familiar with that planter, but the corn plates are usually made for different shaped corn seed, round, flat, etc. That could be your problem. The seed companies may (or may not) have plastic plates that will fit your planter. As far as I know most IH planters used the same plates throughout production -- possibly not as early as that planter. JD was treated theirs the same way. You are correct that the metal IH plates are hard to come by. It doesn't help any that I have had only limited use of IH planters, the latest being about 35 years ago with a 20-30 year old planter. I hope you find something.

I have the openers just havent mounted them yet trying to get a steady rate of seed drop right now . Will post a pic of the plates tommorrow. and yes it is a two row implement cultivated corn with it last year.

That is what IH called the single seed hopper. They had several different cut-off assemblies for the bottom. It looks to me like you may have a seed plate intended for a different cut-off assembly. Your cut-off requires seed plates with seed cells a bit in from the outside edge of the plate. It looks like your plate may have cells made as notches in the outer edge (used with a different cut-off assembly). From your picture, it appears that as the plate rotates, the cells don't pass directly under the cut-off.

When you say "cogs", do you mean that the knocker looks like a gear? If so, corn and other large seed plates use a knocker wheel that has a smooth rim. The cogged knocker was made for sugar beet and milo plates to push the small seeds through the holes.

Theses are plates that fit the planter boxes and the knocker is smooth not geared . Lot of info about A's and Cub planters seems nobody cares to plant with an H or M.

Thanks ,

A single seed hopper is a single seed hopper. It doesn't matter what planter or tractor you put it on, it still won't work with the wrong plate.
