Just wondering if these drills are any good... working on picking up 2 very cheap. Don't need both, but thinkin on a parts theroy as 1 is a little rough on the edges. I am aware that they were a different handling animal, and was told in sand they can be a problem, as well as with transport, But in my eve the mechanical looks much the same as with a 5100, although I did not pay much notice to what turns the seed "wheels".

I guess what I really wanna know is was there a mechanical problem with theses that I should watch for? I know most of the usuals, but unfamilar with these drills, and have spent most of my life around "newer" stuff, and deciding to farm on my own is making me seek out my own affordable equipment in hopes of upgrading in a few years.

Any comments appreciated

Thanks guys.... Wish I wouldn't have sold my 21 run 5100 soybean special the other year ago right now....it was a very nice drill for being a early 5100..... but lost my ground and had no intentions of restarting farming... but ya can take the farmkid from the farm.... but cant take the farm from the farmkid

I have a 620. The hitch is poor. Reworked mine to look like the newer 6200's hitch, but used thicker steel so it is stronger and heavier. Wish they used the old spoked model 100 press wheels. The sheet metal wheels fatigue pretty easily. Just don't load up the boxes and head down the road at high speed. I try to keep top speed less than 15 mph and lower if the boxes are fairly full. I load it up on the planter trailer if going any significant distance. The drill has worked great, wish Dad had bought one years ago when we were using an old Oliver and later a JD-VanBrunt. One problem is that you can't be jocking around before you start to plant. It will pack the heck out of the ground and the openers won't penetrate very good. Need to pull into the field and began planting without moving around. Doesn't hurt to run over it after planting. A little light for notill, we always make a tillage pass before planting

I have seeded with IH 100's, 620's and 6200's. The 620 gave the most problems. The main problem was that the "wheelbase" from caster wheels to packer wheels was a bit too short on the 620. If you were seeding on smooth ground then no problem. Going too fast on rough ground punished the welds on the caster supports. Going too fast with a 620 also could result in uneven seeding depth. The 620 will drive from the packer wheels with a roller chain, so does the 6200, 100 had a bull chain. Our drives never gave much trouble. On any press grill the seams in the packers sometimes split from road travel, rocks or dide hills. Easily welded but takes a lot of rod. Bearings in the disks need to be kept up, but are cheap. BTW the retainer nut on one side of the disc is right hand thread, the other is left hand. These drills are all really good when used in the right conditions. The only reason we had all three over the years is that we were always increasing in size. Started out with 12' and ended up with 28'. Airseeders have taken their place now due to trash management ease of filling and transport.
