333 Planter w/ 74 Row Units

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Dragged this 333 planter home. I had to bolt the tongue back on, air up the tires, grease the hubs, and put a big ol' stack of cylinder depth stops on the lift cylinders but it made the trip. It has a 176" frame with 74 row units and no-till coulters.

The Lincoln Ag parts for milo in the boxes were a nice bonus. My plan is to try milo, soybeans, and maybe sunflowers. I mostly bought this for the row units since they will go down to 15" rows. My plan is to mount four of them to some sort of Snap Coupler toolbar on a CA or WD/WD45. I want to go about as narrow on the rows as I can and still cultivate with a CA, at least for the milo and maybe the soybeans. I didn't get any other sprockets with it so I may have to invest in a few of those once I nail down the row spacing and do the math on my speeds for the seeding rates.

I know everyone says get John Deere 7XXX units but I couldn't even find a trashed sat-outside-for-30-years JD planter for any less than 4x what I paid for this (scrap price). I will have a fair amount of residue to deal with but definitely not no-till. Think these row units will do the job well enough for a few acres?
