central - east central Minnesota - | Nick M - 4/12/2009 09:32 We are looking to buy a used 15' no-till drill and everyone says that John Deere is the best. A used 1560 w/grass is about 25000 where a used 1590 w/o grass is 30000. (Decent shape) What are the differences in the two? Primary difference is, 1560's have a two piece seed boot. Wasn't a cost effective design . . . I'm not sure, but it could be possible to convert the 1560 boot style to 1590 or 750 style - maybe someone with experence will chim in. We have John Deere corn planter units but never had a drill. Primary purpose for the drill will be to plant wheat and our cover crops. We already had planned on putting a spike closing wheel because thats all we use on our corn planter. Is the 1590 worth the extra 5000 plus 2500 for a grass attachment? Not sure, but if the 1560 is convertable to the one piece seed boot - given the info presented, I'd be leanig toward the 1560 . . . Also on our planter we changed the gauge wheels to Case-ih style. Do you do that on the drill too? Yes, the CNH style gauge wheels work good for replacement. Also the seed furrow press wheel - small, skinny wheel, can be replaced with the CNH furrow wheel or the Niedlehim (sp?) furrow wheel - much, much better then Deere . . .If you need more info concerning these drill - do a search, you will find lots and lots of helpfull info - search words 750, 1560, 1590 . . . |
