This drill was part of an order for three units that were to be hooked together. This unit showed up by itself first and the farmer took it home after the dealer told him the other two units would be on the next shipment from Case. A week later the dealer called to inform him that Case would not be sending the other two units because they had ended production. Shortly after, this drill was sold to it's second owner and resided at his farm until I purchased it. I doubt it was the last off the line, but it was obviously one of the last shipped to a dealership. This post was edited by Jason Kozlowski at 19:58:49 10/19/12. [Reply]   [No Email]

The drills they use are the galvanized hoper, steel wheel vintage. A few late model JD or CaseIH units were sold to drill soybeans, but even that practice has died out around here. Thanks ,Rod.

When I bought mine new, neighbors had already bought 2 7' units from the dealer. I bought the third 7 footer with the understanding he would get another unit. Called back to tell me Case discontinued them. Stuck with one unit,I put it beside a 7' Kirshmann drill. Mine has the gong wheels instead of the spoked ones yours has. [Reply]  [No Email]

Your story sounds similar to what I was told about this drill. I would love to see a picture or two of your ED drill, can you post one please? Does your neighbor still have his ED drills? To date this is the first unit I've seen with the spoke rubber wheels. The others have all had the gong wheels like yours. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'll see if my son can post a picture, but it looks just like Case Nutty's. Neighbors got sold on a farm sale. Course I was on the road with the truck and didn't get to see them sell.

I'd like to find a more traditional EW drill to go with this one. [Reply]  [No Email]
