IH 56 planter

Chester5731 · Nov 8, 2014

I have an IH 56 planter I bought last year and used it for soys and it worked real well. I want to plant some blacks next year but I understand there is only a "slobber" plate for dry beans. The ones I have the holes look a little large for the seed. For those of you that plant dry beans with one how do you adjust your settings. I want to plant about 40 lbs per acre. Should I set it for 35 knowing extra seed will get planted?

I may be mistaken, but I thought there where 2 different been plates. One for larger seeds and one for smaller. Cannot remember for sure. I do have one set in the shed that are the plastic lundstrum and may have another set of metal ones in the other shed.

just looked on Lincoln ag parts, under the soybean plates, there are 3 different plates available for $15.00 each

I have soybean plates. It is the dry beans that I am wondering about. Maybe the soybean plates will work for dry beans. I might have to check that out.
