| I need some parts for my planter. Looking for closing wheel brackets, gauge wheel arms, bushings, discs, and some spare closing wheels. Shoup is quite a bit cheaper than deere, sloan express is cheaper than shoup on what I need. Will I be sacrificing quality by saving money or is it all same? Just looking for some personal experience from the people on here. TIA |

Sw Ks | I bought a lot of stuff from shoup for my planter. We have bough quite a bit of stuff over the years and have been satisfied. |

NE WI | free shipping from shoup on orders over $200. On the heavy items this can add up to a lot of shipping savings. Just got all the planter parts this year from Shoup. |

sw wisconsin | shoup is the way to go, Sloan Express does not seem as good of quality |
|

|
| SMA stuff is usually good quality also but I'm not sure you can buy direct. |

| we bought wheel arms from shoup last year and we wish we wouldn't of paint was terrible on them which i no is minor but they seem very thin and cheap quality but the biggest thing is they all had a weird twist in them and we ran out of adjustment with our cams we ended up just taking a six foot bar and bending them to line up properly with the seed trench in our case the money we saved was not worth it |

Morris, IL | We deal with shoup or deere mostly. Some bearing or little things i go to deere, i think i've been in their 5-6 times a week for two weeks strait for little things and such for corn planter. We always seem to make a trip down to shoup 2-3 times a year. Once before spring and once before fall, it's about 2 hour round trip. We are local and can pickup for 5% off which is nice. If i wasn't local the free shipping or you could say out the door pricing would be nice. Guys that work at shop are no dummies, definitely local farm boys that know their stuff.
We have had pretty good luck with shoup. Don't know much about sloan express.

N.C. Iowa | I haven't used any of their products, but I see a lot of people on here are happy with RK products. We just used some tail wheel assemblies from SI distributing and seem to be good quality.

Tip of the Thumb of Michigan | I've been happy with shoups for years. American made Shoup last as long or longer than foreign made deere. |

Northern CA | I just bought $1800 worth of drill parts and paid $80 shipping. What does one have to do to qualify for free shipping? |

| I've used parts from all three, Sloan had the best prices of Kinze brushes and aftermarket seed sensors and they all worked fine for me. I didn't run them hard enough to wear them out though.

Morris, IL | Yes that is correct. I should have said a lot of people get free shipping. Here is the shipping chart. http://www.shoupparts.com/resources/view.aspx?id=42 |

Southern IL | Had good luck with both, price items at both places, them weigh out your shipping options, good quality from both in my experience |

NC Nebraska | We bought 2 planters worth of seed disks for deere 1770's this winter. They look fine but the funny thing is we had to pull more washers to get them set correctly. I would have thought we'd be adding washers back in like in the past with new blades. Looks like the bearing sets inside the blade a bit more on a shoup disk. Anyone else ever had this happen? Hopefully it's not a problem. |
