 Topic: Help With SC Planter
Posted: 23 Apr 2011 at 12:17am |
Hello,
I have followed the forums for quite some time, but this would be my first post, unfortunately for help! I have a 4 row snap coupler plow, I am assuming from the 50's that I would like to use. It has been kept in good shape, but have no idea how to set it up. I also can't find a manual on ebay etc for this old of a model. Can anyone offer any advice on my situation? It looks like a pretty simple machine, but I am sure there is a trick to it. If you are in MO and have one of these and don't mind a Allis guy dropping by for a few pointers, that would be great too!
I will be pulling it with a D-15.
Thanks!!!!

It's a 4 row planter, the earlier style with no rubber tires.

Look for a 2 row Drill Planter manual. The 4 row is covered in this manual.

They are pretty simple machines. Make sure you match your seed size with the right planter plate. Other than that, you should be able to learn by doing.
Have fun with it.

Thanks for the replies...
Is there a series or model number associated with these old planters where I could make sure I get the right manual, if one could be found?

Do a search on eBay for "allis planter" and I'm sure you will find a photo/manual for your particular model.

The only manual I can find is for a four row "mounted" planter, manual is from the 60's, is this similar?

It is known as a Rear Mounted Drill Planter. The cover will show a WD or D series tractor with a 2 row planter on the back. This manual covers the 4 row also, which is basically two, 2 row planters mounted on a frame.
I do not see the operators manual on ebay right now but there is a parts manual for the Drill Planter.
This is a picture of my 2 row. If you look at your planter, you will notice that you have 2 of these mounted on a "tool" bar.

Yep, that's the one..
I will keep my eye out for one, and maybe get some field corn and do some practice runs as well.
We are planting sweet corn this year, so I was hoping to avoid costly mistakes, seed isn't the cheapest!

Do you have seed plates? These are a plate planter and you will need seed plates that are close to the size of seed you are planting.

Yep, I have bunches of plates, I probably need to figure out which one is which.
Don, I replied to your message and thanks so much...
I am looking forward to using this if it ever stops raining here!
