Late 70's to mid 80's had an Allis 600, 6x30" No-Till with dry fertilizer and I think #74 ground drive units. The AC 180-D bellered some when it was fully loaded and planting in Alfalfa field; after taking hay cutting off, then wait 3-4 days spray ( to kill alfalfa ) and plant the next day. Then got good deal on retiring neighbors; 8-30 setups of cornhead, flex bean head and planter. so switched to JD 7000 8-30 planter setup no-till and dry fertilizer. ------------- AC 200, CAH, AC185D bareback, AC 180D bareback, D17 III, WF. D17 Blackbar grill, NF. D15 SFW. Case 1175 CAH, Bobcat 543B, |

| One of my fuel customers bought a 12 row. To transport it you raised it up, swiveled it 90° and pulled it to the next field. |

I'm sure they did. I read that Allis had the largest share of the no-till planter market. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| Are there any 24 rows left around that any one uses or collects it would be neat to see one? |

| Was the 24 row available with air champ units.....? If it was, that would have 8 electric blowers on it. Not sure what tractor would have the juice to run em. I wouldn't mind having a 24 row one, if I could find one cheap. darrel |

A few years back there was a 24 row up in I think North Dakota, they guy was asking I think 750 bucks, and it was the 78 unit model. I just didn't have the extra money back then. More than likely it ended up being a bunch of 2 row food plot planters. I nearly cried when I saw the add, but couldn't move on it. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

| I don't get that either. The 385 planter was an Allis-Chalmers designed row unit, but this cool 12-row frame was after the Deutz-Allis buyout and don't think it had any A-C development money in it. We sold several of them and that 12-row frame was a pretty unique design and was capable of dry or liquid fertilizer on the front bar. |

Here mine, just put 6 acres of corn in the ground. I was told it started as a 6-40, then was changed to a 8-30. The guy I brought it from, then cut it down to a 4-30. The weight was added when it was a 8-30.   |

| The 385 never did come bigger than 12 rows, did it? I wonder how it would work to put 24 of the 385 units onto the allis 24 row bar? Would the 385 units be too heavy for it.....? Darrel |

The new White planters, with the electric drive, have a hydraulically driven generator. Once again, looks like Allis was ahead of the game. As a sidebar, saw one of the new Challenger MT743's over the week end, it has two 150 amp alternators on it.
