Haakfarm - 2/9/2017 19:33 With just blades I think you will be ok with Shoup but I also been having bad bearings in the seed disk for deere planters. I had a deere set that went 2 years and a shoup set that did not make it a year before the bearings were out. They did give me my money back on the ones that were bad but they only had 1500 acres on . Are you no-till and running side-band fert openers? That seems to be a recipe for destroying brgs in the seed opener blades, due to uneven loading (soil has been loosened on one side, but not the other). Also, have a look at your seed-tube guards, since they provide the backstop against blade flex, which also stresses bearings. |
