i feel your pain with the covington planter. i bough a brand new one the start of spring and have had to plant and replant bc i cant get it to plant correctly. im putting mine up for sale too.
Own and used 4 or so Covington's over the years. Buy junk ones,rebuild and use, sell and repeat. Set up can be confusing but once you get the process figured out they work well. That being said your Cole set-up is crazy simple and effective. Good job!
Nice tractor sir, I own a planter like this. One suggestion I'll give you, get you a gauge wheel for the Cole planter. 13 in front bottom of the tool bar. It works flawless for me.
I like bought my cole planter used ,had to replace the band that controls the fertilizer rate very over priced part $100.Thats what happens when you don't wash it out. Had a Covington, but the Cole is simple.
@@brian_2040 Yes I do. In order for the rear wheel to turn I needed to have the planter sloped down so much in the back, that when I lifted it, the rear wheel was still touching the ground.
@@tombauder8489 you don't have something set up right. I wish I could help you. I have 2 sets of Cole planters and after a lot of trial and error, I have them set up great. Do you have a operator's manual for yours?
@@brian_2040 Thank you for responding. I think I'll try moving my top link both one hole higher or one hole lower to see if it makes a difference. I'm using a JD4310 tractor but that shouldn't matter I don't think.
@@tombauder8489one thing I'd recommend is get you some gauge wheels and mount them on the tool bar. The planter unit where it bolts to the tool bar now needs to be 13 inches when planting.
