Hello Is anyone planting sunflowers with the old rear mounted drill planters. And if so what seed disk is used. Just a thought.
Thanks

Do you have the set of 2 seed matching plates? Find the slot that is the closest match to the size seed and then match that cell size to the chart in the operators manual.
 ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

thanks Paul. There wouldn’t happen to be a part number for those plates in picture. I just got some seed. So I’ll look for those plates to size up with seed. Has anyone ever seeded sunflower with the old rear mounted drill planter. Thanks

Those plates are 321477 & 321478. I believe that they came with the planter when you brought it new. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |
