Thanks guys. I am looking to get a manual for this critter but curiousity got the best of me. The planter came with 4 sets of plates which impressed me at the time. As soon as I got her it got me to wondering about the plates. They still have about a foot of snow on the ground in Central Wi so it will be a while before i start putting anything in the ground. Like with all the machines I have gotten so far I do not expect to put it on the 3 pt and be off running with it.

Again thanks

Bill

What LA said! Exactly.

The manual will tell you whatplates are available.

The seed dealer or the back of the bag of seed will tell you what plate you need for that bag of seed. If you notice an ear of corn, tiny seeds on the tip, big round fat ones on the heal of the ear, & medium flat kernals on the middle of the ear. Depending on how good the seed was sorted & bagged, you need a plate that is sized for that bag of corn.

As mentioned, you can often adapt AC to JD plates. Most long-time JD ag dealers will have a rack of old plates upstairs in the tstorage room, I just went through this with an IHC planter, when I found the right older parts fella at the dealership, he brought down a rack of ~100 plastic plates, said $50 for the whole pile or $2.50 a plate.

The younger parts guy was looking them up on the computer, think the price woulda been $15-20 each. Might want to check around, wait for the older looking fella at the desk....

Was at a ag junk dealer a week ago, got upstairs in one of their old buildings, had a few 1000 plates laying around, forget what his price per plate was, but cheap.

Most AC planters would run with JD plates, if you used a plastic "adapter" that fills in the center hole to the proper fit on an AC. For plate info see a seed dealer, then look on the back of a bag of seed. If that dealer is of no help, you go to a better one. If still no help you go to a much better one. Working with a "new to you" planter without an operator"s manual is like driving with a hood over your head. "The sins of planting will haunt you all season."

No, I"m not being rude. Just being honest with you. LA in WI

Recommended plate size is on the seed bag- not in the operator manual.
