Hello sir my name is Craig Rasnic I live in Lynchburg Ohio and have a small farm that I farm with all antique tractors and equipment. I just recently found your channel here and I’m glad I did I have really enjoyed everything that you have done good videos both entertaining and educational so thank you for sharing with us your knowledge. Currently I have 2 series 3 D17’s and a D19 has along with an Oliver 77 2 farmall M’s, a 901 Ford and a Massey Harris 22. I’m currently trying to buy a D15
I remember my dad and uncle with the two row version on.our CA planting 60 acres each spring when I was young. Ours had the starter fertilizer attachment. Then later we'd side dress wirh a cultivator on our WD..
Me and my dad got grandads ol CA working a while ago, unfortunately it’s at the point that it’s more a show tractor than a field plowing tractor, but I’ll drive it with a tackle box and a fishing pole down a few roads to a pond making sure all the Yankees that have been moving into Huntersville NC that this still is the south
If the SC tongue was correct, would this 4-row drill planter work behind your CA, or would it be better served behind a WD? Great use of vintage equipment...thanks for sharing.
How much room would you like to walk between the rows? The true limit is on how narrow you can set your planter and cultivator. Farmers planted corn on 36”, 38” & 42” rows just so the horses had room between the rows. You could go down to 15”’s but that doesn’t give you much room to move around.
I just planted my first patch of sweetcorn with my D14 and the two row version of that planter. With the wheels set way our I use the tracks as markers.
Good morning sir I have a question. One of my D17’s has a second Hydrolic valve on the left side of the seat but it’s frozen up and will not move. I have an extra transport valve for a D19 can I install it on the 17 to use for a second remote. And if so where do I plumb in the outlet for the return to the Hydrolic oil. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks
