    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 at 9:59pm
Can these units be driven off the press wheel?
 
I bought this 330 wide row planter intending to move it in to 30" rows but it would be easier to move the row units to my 333 planter frame since it already is set for 30" rows and has no till coulters. It wouldn't be hard to mount the blower units but since there isn't a transmission, press wheel drive would simplify things.

They are basically the same as the 78 ground driven units., They are missing some parts to be able to do that tho.

Did the factory ever set these up with press wheel drive? I am replacing some well worn 78 row units with these, I would need the sprockets and chain tensioners at least. I haven't had both planters at the same location yet.
I remember seeing a 2 row 3pt planter with these air units on an equipment jockeys lot several years ago. Of course I didn't look very close at the time.  How would I figure out what sprockets to use for the population I wanted?

The reason for the "330" frame was so you only had to change sprockets in one location. If you want to change sprockets at every row unit, you went with a 333 frame. Population chart is in the 78 series unit book.

I have two 4-row air planters I bought at auctions, I don't use them, but wanted them for the seed boxes to put on my 600 planter units. also saved them from going to CHina. any/all parts or the whole planters are for sale.

Thanks Dr and Shameless too. I guess the next step is to get these two side by side and go from there, then see what other question I come up with. lol

in the pics, it appears there is enough room on the shaft to put a drive sprocket on them. would have to run straight edges and count sprocket teeth for population and alignment adjustments. that's a good looking planter.
