Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | I had a 12 row 1760 for many years equipped about exactly as what you describe. I felt it was an excellent planter. We got more land and felt we needed a larger planter so we went with a 1770NT with 24 rows.
I had starter fertilizer on it at a low rate so I used a "near the seed" type placement. I don't share the fertilizer limitation mentioned in the previous reply.
The 1760 is a more basic planter as far as folding etc. which is good. It will require that you "get out" to fold/unfold it but it works well. Ours was the solid frame style meaning the main frame was solid all the way across. There is also another style where there is a flex point in the center of the frame to allow it to follow the contour of hilly ground better. Our land is reasonably flat so the solid frame was fine. The flex frame does require placing a support at the flow point before folding for travel.
I sold mine locally to a young farmer and I believe he is still using it. |
JD 1760 12 row planter. Any concerns?
