NNW Nebraska | They do a excellent job planting no till and tilled. If you set it a inch deep, seed is a inch deep.
Conventional drills, you set a inch deep, seed is a inch deep at the bottom of a furrow. Wind or rain and seed is way to deep.
If it still has the old style closing wheels (bearings in wheel) buy the conversion to new style wheels immediately. Dont spend the time ,& money to put bearings in old ones.
Seed opener disc should be close to 18 inches in diameter.
If seed boots have lots of slack up and down, mounting holes are wore out. Need to buy sleeves to fix it and the tool to do it with.
If seed boots are worn so side is open to opener disc, they need replaced.
Spin all the wheels to check for bad bearings.
If the arm the depth wheel bolts to, has lots of slack in the splines, may have to replace both pieces. If the threads are wore out, you do have to replace it, although sometimes you can buy some time by putting new nuts on.
Probably one of the most expensive drills to run, but do a excellent job in about all soil conditions. Especially if you plant small seeds that can not be to deap, like alfalfa or teff grass.
If you want to plant in corn stalks, behind the combine, after high moisture corn, may need weights on the back. Front tractor weights from same vintage tractors fit on the back of the drill.
