I have a half bushel of seeds I saved from last fall. I have a JD 7000 and put a handful in bean meter and they seemed to go thru fine. I'm going to no till a bunch into my CRP ground this spring. They would probably work OK in the corn meter too, with the finger pick ups. Hope you figure out what you need for a plate. I have a 5 gallon bucket full of plates here, but never went thru to size them and don't even know for sure what they fit. Seems like I got them when I bought a scrap 4 row Allis planter many years ago. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Works very well with Deere finger pickups. Over the years I probably did 125-150 acres. I’m a huge fan of Deere’s planting equipment. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

That's good to know Victory. I may not even switch to bean meters this spring. One is broken and needs replaced, and I have been sowing soybeans in my plots with Grandpa's old Cyclone seeder and just dragging them in with the 4 wheeler. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

If you plant salted seeds . . . do you get already salted when you pick them?  ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Well, if that isn't enough, maybe the combine SHAKER will add more to your suit your taste!  ------------- |

Mine get planted with a Deere 494 planter, I think I run the Lustran B7-24 plates. These are made for medium flat corn but they do just fine on sunflower seeds. You don’t have to use the specific plate for a seed, if you have a bunch of plates you can use one that the seed fits in. It’s not as precise as the plate made for it but it works. Just make sure to turn the plate by hand with some seeds in the box to make sure your not grinding up the seed! ------------- 190XT Series III, D17 Series IV, D15 Series II, All Crop 66 and a whole mess of equipment. |
