Years ago when we ran field corn for cattle feed, we had a 4 row combine head and 4 row planter. With 4 rows the setup had two rows inside the wheels of the tractor and two out. We stopped doing cattle and got rid of the combine and planter.
We plan to raise feed again but mostly for chickens and goats. I picked up a sweet little Massey 300 combine that has a three row corn head and 10’ grain head (working machine for ˝ of scrap price). I will only be doing about 3a ea of corn, soybean (followed by wheat), and oats. I was thinking since I had extra units I should / would expand the two row “sweet” corn planter into a three row planter to match the head. However this will put the two outside units in my tire tracks.
The grain drill doesn’t seam to have issues putting down seed in the tracks but it has disk openers. The planter units are packer wheel driven plate units with a shoe / knife opener (not disk). Do you think I will have issues with getting the seed planted properly? I think I am more worried about getting it covered up since the tractor tire will have compressed the ground first.
