Jackson County, AL | I believe those are the same frame as a Deere 1780. If so, they are a boat anchor when wet but good and heavy to no-till with. Negative tongue weight will get you stuck before you can think about avoiding it. Raising the planter will only make it worse, better to attempt to drag it through it. You'll learn to avoid any situation where you need to pull it out backwards. They should have put a hook or eye to pull from that stuck out past the units. Other local farmers had the red 12/23 and I know it got some welding but not much other than that. Our 1780 got welding too. |
