Here is a picture of the 3 different planter plates. The AC Chrome plates are 20 cell and 6 beans will fit in them. The JD B2 24 cell plates will fit 4 beans in them. The JD B3 32 cell plates will fit 2 beans in them. The last couple years the bean seed have been small, A unit (forget the seed count)use 42 lbs a bag and these are the beans in the picture. Its bad that the seed is so small but it is cheaper to ship a bag with 160,000 seed count that weighs 42 lbs than a bag that weighs 60 lbs for 160.000 seed count. With all the new planters that are Air, Vacume or finger pick up they get one seed at a time no mater what the seed size. For all of us with plate type planters its a guessing game to get the right seed rate with all the different seed sizes. The pioneer seed dealer is the one that gave me the B3 soybean planter plates to try, But could not tell me how to set the seed rate. So that is why I am asking if anyone has used them and what they had to do to the planter to get the right seed rate. The way my planter is set now in 20 inch rows it plants 80 lbs an acre. The same setting in 30 inch rows would plant 60 lbs and acre so it the same setting. I am just trying to get it a little more accurate. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Bandit

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
