I have never been satisfied with the planting ability of my IHC EARLY tractor pull type corn planter.
I heard not to long ago that one should size up their seed corn WITH the plates. I had never done that. I always bought Med Flats, and used the plates listed ON THEM for that size corn. Now, there is around at least 75yrs difference between OP seed corn planted then, than possibly OP seed corn now, and likely for sure a difference between the size of OP corn then, and hybred seed corn of today.
Im going to used my plates marked Large flats the next time I plant seed corn and see what kind of a stand I get.
