I picked up this grain drill last week and have been told it's either a DR or FB model. Can someone tell me the difference. I don't find markings on it that give me a clue. It's a 13 run drill with seed box in front and what looks like fertilizer boxes in back. The colters are raised and lowered by pulling the machine forward while releasing two springed levers from independent locking mechanisms. Two cranks are used to set the depth on each side. Thanks for any help.

I have a Model DR and according to the manual it is called a double run drill. I assume the DR stands for double run. On the bottom of the hopper there is a cover plate for each of the grain feeds. The cover plate is open on 1 side so that it only covers the other side. Underneath the cover there is a feed wheel with a large opening on the right side and a small opening on the left side. Small seeding rates use the small opening and larger rates (60 bu/acre or greater) use the large opening. The cover plate must be adjusted according to the seeding rate. Everything else on the drill sounds identical to what you have. I don't know anything about the FB, but if you have these cover plates I would assume it is a DR model. Good luck with your venture.

We have an FB that sounds identical to what you are discribing, but without seeing it, I couldn't tell you. Hope this helps.
