Eastern South Dakota | I had a chain drive jd1770 and a 2001 chain drive kinze 16 row 3600. I wanted to go to hyd drive so I could variable rate seed but then I still have chain driven finger meters. It made more sense for me to go to precision edrives, eliminating all chains, making it a row by row variable rate capable planter. I think it worked very well for me this year and was a way to keep my existing planters that Im familiar with. I know that it seemed expensive to convert both of them but it was still less than just trying to trade one of them into a newer model with hyd drives and I was able to go right to hyd down pressure as well. It looked like there were a lot of hydraulic drives for sale this year in the agtalk classifieds by guys that went to electric drives however and I would think you could pick up some hydraulic drives very reasonable now that may have come off of the same model planter you are doing for very reasonable $ | |
