If it has sat outside, consider it the same as a combine that isn't shedded. It will need some work, and the shafts are more exposed than on a combine. [Reply]   [No Email]

I am afraid it will take a lot of work to make this planter functional the way it should. Kow Farmer (Kurt) [Reply]  [No Email]

The JD unit is self standing where something like a cyclo was not. Eventually JD screwed over Kinze and cut off the supply. Big hoopola in court and Kinze was able to build their copy. Deere screwed themselves out of selling all those units and it's funny to see someone actually copy a deere since all deere does is copy everyone elses inventions. [Reply]  [No Email]
