With a JD-Type planter?

I'm trying to decide what JD B-Plate I'll need for that size seed... (I have a JD 71 Flex Planter)

Thanks in advance for any help...

P.S. Yea, I know May is many moons away :laughing: But I just ordered a reconditioned JD Planter and I'm excited to be ready to fire-up the Powermaster when the ground-temps hit 60F, and I want to start looking for the seed-plate I'll need....

Also, I want to say thanks for this forum and all the great ideas and info everyone has contributed! I was wondering how I was going to side-dress my sweet corn; now I know that my Earth-Way planter will work! (I almost sold it; glad I didn't)

Dennis, I use the Lustran B2-16 seed plate for Bodacious. Remember this may change as seed size sometimes change from year to year.

Thanks Steve! :thumbsup:

I think I read that somewhere you can send some samples of your seed and they'll find the correct Plate to use... Don't remember where I saw that - oldtimers is in full force...
