I used to have one of those planters. On the back of the seed corn bag (there usually is) is a table for which plate to use with the particular corn for the particular popuation. At least there was on pioneer 10 yrs ago. Think most of the 3165 I got used a B-10 or a B-16

Dad saved a couple of those old bags to cross-reference things. The new bags don't have the chart any more. I don't need it either, with the JD finger pickup I have now. But I always wanted to write those charts down somewhere, just because..... Our planter was so old (a Case 4-row with checking option) that we had to go through 2 bags of charts to cross-reference what worked in what plate...

I don't rember the size of plates to use on the graded corn but a good seed dealer should have a chart with the size of kernals and the plate to be used. I think the number 16 on the is for 16 cell. They could be had in 16 or 24 cell, I used the 24 cell because you can slow the speed down to 2/3 of the 16 cell and plant the same population. Need to use the right seed spacing chart for each plate.

You are correct. The 16 stands for a 16 cell. Most people use the 24 cell plate. The B1 is a very common med. round in a plastic plate or was the 10853 in a steel plate. The med. flat was a F7 in plastic or 1302 in steel. If the plastic plates are old they had a tendency to wear over time and became inaccurate. They are so cheap I would get a new set of plastic from your seed dealer to match the size seed you purchase. Most companies still sell a certain amount of graded seed. Remember, many people like med. round for planting accuracy but actually the med. flat has the best germ qualities.
