That's pretty cool that you can plant corn with a drill . Do plan on chopping it or leaving it for the deer ? Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !
Good day Many yrs ago my dad cleared a spot, old water hole, tile it , black soil & planted corn seed on it with seed drill, boy it grew really well, no fertilizer . Thanks
Excellent video Farmall Fanitic :) also planting is fun to do and challenge too included! On axles spindles for wheels do ever put grease on spines so slip on nice and bolts on U clamps bracket with oil or grease on nuts so spin on or off easily to ? I know lots farmers my way do sometimes on nuts use Anti Seize thin layer on also spindles to also!
Dad said grandpap and he used to do it by blocking the openings to space the rows out to 38, i think that was what it was to let horses walk through safely
We always ran the dualing hubs the other way on our 7 and 9. The 7 has 100 inch axles with 15.5xR38 and the 9 has 118 inches axles with 18.4R38. It was always easier to tighten 2 u bolts than line up 9 hub bolts. I'm not sure of your duals would fit with the hubs flipped. That was for us do what works.
Always enjoyed puttin up an down the fields puting seed in the ground 👍 we had a new guy came to work for us an we told him to run grain drill wheel inside mark from previous run 👍 he thought he be clever an run. Wheel mark on. Wheel mark 😳 🤣🤣
If you want to get fancy you can get those magnetic coated plastic floor vent covers for mobile homes that close off the registers in unused rooms, and then cut them up into covers for the seed meters on the drill... the magnetic stuff holds them in place.
I always wondered if you could do this, simply for the fact in my area it seems cheaper to get a good grain drill over a good planter so I figure if one can do all jobs then why not right?
FF, you should use safety glasses when running an impact wrench on heavy duty work like that. Can't replace eyes. Just concerned about your well being. Peter
What are your thought's concerning gasoline powered tractor's (especially your 756, 400, M) with the current price of gasoline as compared to diesel powered tractor's?
Of course you can plant corn with a drill. If there's a setting for it, you can plant it. And by blocking the holes off, you get your 28" rows, although you have to set your drill to seed 4 times heavier. I have a feeling that you're going to have to pull your dual hubs out. We have found that the hubs have to be almost to the end of the axle to work... When they are right in like that, duals won't quite go on, I don't think, and they need a slight gap. Your hubs are slightly different than what we have. Ours have just straight bolts going in to threaded blocks that clamp the axle, rather than U bolts. Those electric impacts work great.
@@FarmallFanatic It should work. I looked at some of our tractors and every one has the dual hubs right to the end of the axle. I think after looking at them again that your tractor has longer axles.
You can cover some of the holes with duct tape and plant in close to a regular planter. My uncle did it before he could afford a planter. Poor folks got poor ways.
Hope you didn't waste your time running to Meadville to go to Fastnall, their closed. Franklin is the next closest I think. I have a pair of 38s but that's no help.
