JD Seller said: (quoted from post at 19:13:29 05/24/15) 36F30 You trying to make appoint that CIH planters row units are "perfect" out of the box????? It is funny that the market does not reflect your thinking. You stated that a major after market company made zero attachments for CIH planters. IS this because they are not needed or the fact that the market would be so limited that there is no money to made there.
Some confusion about what you post is all about.
Just what I observed. There are getting to be more and more red planters here, still the majority are Deere. The local Precision Planting dealer just built a giant new shop and has a yard full of green planters waiting for him to upgrade them. Not a single red one.
The engineers from Precision told me that they could not significantly improve the metering of the case IH units. I was curious, I asked, thats what they told me. The small improvements that they could make were not enough to justify the expense. I was at the time putting every attachment made by Precision on a JD 6 row conservation planter, they were there to assist, as the planter was to be used at their demonstration site. Right before I left, the new Delta Force Hydraulic down pressure system had come in for this planter and I was to remove the Air Force air bags I had just put on it and install the Delta Force. We had over $30,000 of improvements on a 6 row before the hydraulic system arrived.
With all the posts bashing the IH planter and saying get a Deere, I guess it was just my way of saying don't count out the Red.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
