Hey there Shep. Seems to me the last time I was on your website you had a picture of your 1655 on a 510 International grain drill. I am not totally sure, but pretty sure. If that is yours, could you tell me some of the strong and weak points on the drill. I work for a Case IH dealership and they are saying the old pull type drills will no longer be made after this model year and a 510 would be perfect for us. I see no reason for spending big dollars for a 5300 when a 510 is the original design, just updated. If anyone else has something to say, add it! Thanks!

If you look at "tractor pics" you see my 1655 with a 5100 drill hooked up. It's a soybean special with press wheels. The fertilzer section has been removed so the whole box hold seed--about 25 bushels. I've been pretty happy with it. Shallowist it will plant is 3/4" which is fine. I did have the cast piece that holds the fixed end of the cylinder break and I have not been able to get it to hold right since. And one depth adjustment keeps wanting to walk--that's it.
So if Case/IH isn't going to make a pull drill what are they proposing--mounted?

Yeah, we have a 510 IH drill. I really cant tell you that much about it, I have never really had to work on it. I guess that is a good thing. It does a good job, it does have some trouble bridging up at times when drilling O grass, but I try to broadcast that now anyway. It is also pretty touchy with the seed gate and that takes some getting use to. I put all new drag chains on it last year as we wore the old ones out, and I would love to have row marker tires on it, it just has truck tires on it now.

Our machine is a ground drive lift which does OK, I would like it to be a cylinder lift in short feilds, but the neighbor uses it sometimes with his farmall M and doesnt have very good hydraulics.

Other than that it is a solid machine and plants well, I think you would get along good with one.

Dave and Shep- Thanks for your replies. Well, Case IH is planning on just saying to their customers, buy a mounted drill. I'd say its a waste to discontinue a great design, but thats up to them. We had a customer buy 4 units this year- and put 3 of them into storage until they need them! Isnt that extreme!?!? We have had a really hard time finding any 510's around here, and I've been kicking my butt for stopping at 2,050 at an auction for one. The other guy was leary to go 2,100, but he did and thats where it ended. Just a 10' unit, but thats all we need for oats yet. Oh well, I could ramble:) Thanks again for the replies, the IH board said nothing back when I asked....just goes to show you:)
