Hey guys...newbie here.
Bought a peach orchard and going to grow some other crops. There were two old John Deere planters there. Have gotten them working and in fact EVERY grease fitting greased...they are in really good shape...they are ugly...but maybe I'll fix that soon. Wondering if anyone knows anything about these...history, years produced, crops able to be planted with them...anything. Even the old flat chains are in good shape. One question I have is the big VEE in the front of them. I have never seen that before...but they look factory. Anyone have any ideas?? I'm going to plant purple hulls with them....what about a plate?? I think I have a corn and soybean plate...any ideas?? They seem a bit big for purple hulls.
Here are some pics!
Thanks guys!! Great site!
