I see older AC planters (I think like 600 series) that use common plates (same as JD with adapter) that have been converted to 3 points. Common parts are still available. Usually someone cuts apart a 6 row to make three 2 row planters.
I have a john Deere 25 B planter, dealership can still order parts as needed
you can set or change the row spacing easily, still buy plates for them,
need to check as other brand planters you may not be able to get plates
3 pt hitch, works good, these were made in the early 60's
but finding a good condition, small corn drill may be a challenge
cutting up a 4 or 6 row planter also has its challenges as it may not have 3 pt hitch, if that is what you want.
I agree with others, deer eat up my sweet corn patches, strip bark off my young fruit trees,
bang up cars and trucks, I have no use for them,
but that is just my opinion,

I can afford it and I guess he can too,deer turn corn and other crops into top quality meat.

The JD 71 planters work good and Cole Planters work good too.Almost any older corn planter will do the job you want.As far as Clover I mix Crimson Clover in with fertilizer and broadcast it to
plant also usually add turnips and Oats to the mix.Oats will really grow in a cool damp Fall and Deer love to graze them.

i have had good luck planting small seed with the following.
sow seed with 3pt seeder, mix seed with pelletized fertilizer if your seed is very small, sow at a rate that you have to go over the field twice, splitting your tracts.
I think the key to a good stand of grass is to roll the seed in with a cultipacker.

Yes I can afford it. We here in new jersey are allowed to hunt deer over bait. Yes they do damage to shrubs and yard plants and there is a good amount of vehicular damage but that’s everywhere We’re allowed unlimited does per day and bucks If you buy the permits So it’s worth putting in food plots to make the grow bigger

No law in Virginia against hunting over food plots or crop fields,matter of fact I put in quite a few for other hunters every year.Its against the law to bait which is something like putting out shelled corn in a pile or a bunch of apples in a pile.Over in WVA they are allowed to shoot deer over bait.

All you guys that have too many deer why don't you lease hunting rights to other hunters or sell
day hunts. Some guys down here make more money from the hunting than they do from farming
or ranching the same country. Most still do both. Sounds to me like you are missing out on an
opportunity for additional income. Tony

some people do charge to have other people hunt on there land, before getting all off topic, i was just looking for some info on planters.
You can probably find an old JD two row planter. Don't overlook the old horse drawn planters. We used one to planter about 11 acres at our deer camp. they are easy to convert to 3pt or can be dragged around.
I have a couple of IH ones and plates are easy to get. For corn or soybean these are ok but clover I just hand broadcast. If you have an open area with good sun I would suggest alfalfa. I also use the one row
planter for corn on the back of my farmall cub.
