Find yourself an old wringer washing machine for your rags. you can fill it with hot water and plenty of your favorite cleaners and turn it on and leave it run for a couiple of hours. Rinse in a tub of water and your good to go. Using your house washing machine for grease rags will start to coat the inside of the tube, hoses, and pump with grease. Always use the hottest water you can. Good luck.

[@Jtwes]

That’s kinda what I had in mind. I think I’m a 1 and done in the house.

[@WaynesAdventure]

It is awesome to see how you plant corn. I enjoyed the video and the information.

[@Jtwes]

It’s probably a little different but seems to do well for me.

[@jackgraham3393]

Very interesting video. Sure nice to have the two planters, makes for less changing everything else back and forth. I do that, one for smaller seeds and one for the larger seeds. Had to laugh when you were worried about 41 degrees, am 250 miles from home and received a frost warning for 28 degrees there. Will see what the cabbage, broccoli, onions and peas look like when I get home. When I left it showed nothing lower than 34. Blessings to all for the rest of the week. As always looking forward to the next video.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Jack. I hope there all good when you get back.

[@customcutter100]

Thanks for another great video! Good luck on figuring out the corn plates. I was trying to figure out the spacing on my 180 belly planter with the IH Duplex planter using only 1 side. I drove down one of the 400' rows and counted each time the plate should have dropped a seed. The count was 325, so I figured that would be perfect about 15" spacing. I got 3-4 corn plants germinating each foot! LOL All I can figure is the seed plate was dropping 3-4 seeds at a time due to the sweet corn being a smaller seed than the field corn the plate was made for. I'm going to pick up 4 50# bags of 10-10-10 with micro nutrients tomorrow. I know you saw that you close down your fertilizer hopper until you can barely get your finger under the gate IIRC. Hope that's right? I'm going to set the 140 up for cultivating and side dressing tomorrow. Thanks, Ken

[@bobbyalley5192]

We planted or silver queen yesterday April 17. $48 for 2 pounds here in Denver NC. Good luck with your planting.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Bobby . Hope the Lord Blesses yours as well.

[@Paulford369]

Hopefully it won’t interfere with your vacation this year. Another good corn planting video! My Silver Queen has been in the ground 5 weeks now and it’s about knee high. Managed to get all of it back up straight after the storm last week flattened all of it with 60 mph plus winds and over 5 inches of rain. Feeling blessed it’s back up. God is good!

[@Jtwes]

I was hoping it would for you.

[@RiteintheRainVideo]

Appreciate the support and glad you're liking the notebooks!

[@Jtwes]

I appreciate you making such a quality product.

[@gwaynel8363]

I wash mine all the time in the washer unless they are really bad and then I discard them. Rows look great. All the best from Greensboro NC.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Gurney.

[@AnglesideFarm]

New here, I can understand completely about when to plant. I may have made a mistake and planted my first batch (Michigan) on April 16. We havent had enough heat to bring them out of the ground yet. Good luck in your upcoming sweet corn season sir.

[@Jtwes]

Thank You sir. I would probably wait till the middle of May for Michigan. Thanks For watching.

[@AnglesideFarm]

@@Jtwes last year sweet corn was planted May 5th It’s a roll of the dice eh?

[@jvin248]

Definitely work out the effective planting spacing for your planters/plates. We put a little corn in the hoppers and drive down the hard gravel driveway and measure seed drops. Then adjust sprockets. You can also measure wheel circumference, sprocket teeth, and plate cell count to get a number too but the driveway test is quite effective. Watch for skips and doubles! Aim for 9-12in spacing on your Bloody Butcher/Jimmy Red heirloom corn, it needs more space. I've used 30in rows at 9in but trying out 15in rows at 12in to give every plant more space yet increase plants per acre.

[@Jtwes]

That’s the spacing I’m hoping for. I have noticed doubles on some.

[@jpeel2066]

Thanks for the video. Interesting to see how you plant. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@Jtwes]

Hey J you will probably see lots of ways in the US. We all do something a little different.

[@natureboy28546]

Our Silver Queen is about 3inches tall now

[@Jtwes]

Hey Nature Boy good to hear from you.

[@nathanalmond8280]

Lol. Couldn't wait. Just teasing you Joey. Nice looking job of planting. Hope it comes in at the right time for you with your vacation. Take care.

[@Jtwes]

Me too . I was going by hoss tools said 75 days.

[@tommynorwood5184]

Hi Joey , just couldn’t wait. I’m planning to plant some corn in a couple of weeks. Enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week. 😎😎 👍

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Tommy

[@eugenemartin5918]

Great video guys. Thanks for sharing.❤

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

I think that's a McCormick 184 planter. That Silver Queen reminds me of Grandma. We would always planter her some Silver Queen and would plant Golden Queen for us.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Mark. It’s been around a long time

[@bobbyscott8024]

Hey Joey, great video! I have a 186 planter for my 100 and a Hol-Mac 274 belly planter for my 274. I thought the 174 had a metal hopper like yours and the 184 has a fiberglass like the 186? I could be wrong. Yours work good, that's the main thing 👍

[@Jtwes]

Hey Bobby That may be the case. I just didn’t know enough about them to say definitely what numbers they are.

[@all-americannative-america1163]

My father and I planted Silver Queen late last week. Used our 140 with a cole duplex planter.

[@Jtwes]

Cole is a very nice planter

[@richardschaffling9882]

I like that grader blade and the tractor sounds good

[@Newt3700]

I wash my grease rags too. Don’t tell the Warden. Timbo

[@Jtwes]

Leno washed them for me.

[@kevincampbell3943]

I would never hear the end of it if my wife caught me using her washing machine to wash old oily rags!

[@Jtwes]

She help me. Lol She knows if I mess it up I’ll fix it for her. On a side note I think I’ll try to find me a used one to put out side and just hook a water hose to it.

[@bamatractor]

I got everything in the ground yesterday and today. April 17th.

[@Jtwes]

That’s good. Hopefully get a shower

[@davidlove8866]

I have a set of Ih 295 planters, they look very much like the one you used with only a few enhancements. I have plate charts if you are interested in a copy.

[@Jtwes]

Hey David let me check before I put you through that trouble. I may have some.

[@nfinitymarine4466]

First time ever, I planted corn two weeks before Easter and got lucky. I've got a 70 year old John Deere planter that looks like a 149. I'm having trouble finding gears for mine and only have 24 cell plates, so i get plants about 4 to 6 inches apart. I'm thinking that I'll JB weld half the cells.

[@Jtwes]

I’ve considered doing the same.

[@sundownerwhoopwhoop5016]

Use bondo

[@Railfan90]

The red hats do match the tractors pretty good. I think I’d have to rub some dirt and grease to get it to match my tractor though 😂

[@Jtwes]

That would be correct for me also.

[@Railfan90]

@@Jtwes I changed the gear oil in the trans on mine last weekend. Topped it off a little too much….. made quite a mess 😂

[@sundownerwhoopwhoop5016]

Leno going to kick your butt it’s going to be ready to pick at the wrong time

[@Jtwes]

Going by Hoss Tools . Said 75 days

[@bamatractor]

Smaller wheel will made it faster.

[@Jtwes]

Which location.

[@user-jd9bc4vm8h]

i think at 30 dollars for 100 you cant afford to wash them like that electric for the washer water for the washer and the purple and the tide your looking at 25 dollars to wash 3 times to get them simmi clean

[@Jtwes]

Agree that’s why I was back and forth in my mind about it. I think they were members mark from Sam’s club.

[@chickenmama4670]

Hello I was wondering where you are buying your silver queen corn seed? I grew up on that corn and it’s the best in my opinion. I haven’t seen it around my area for many many years.

[@Jtwes]

Hello Do a google search for Hoss Tools and he will have some. It’s been a staple for us. It’s what our family grew up on.

[@joshpatterson1582]

I’ve always used the IH duplex planter but inherited a IH combination planter. Curious to what plate number you use for your Hastings field corn and what number you use for your hybrid corn. Thanks

[@Jtwes]

Hybrid was 1962A I’ll have to check the Hastings. I know it’s. 16 cell not 24

[@Steve_Chancellor]

Do you freeze your seed?

[@Jtwes]

I do Steve . Soon as I get them.

[@waveoglesby2920]

I love that planter. If you ever see another on for sale please let me know!!!

[@lawsonlawnandfarm8073]

Planted our sweet corn this past weekend. I like that planter. I use an old Cole planter behind my 140. I like how you knock that ridge off the row. We use to do that when planting tobacco but never thought to do it with corn. Last couple years I been planting my corn on the flat without a ridge at all

[@Jtwes]

It’s not much of one by the time I get through it.

[@tater357]

A few video's ago you showed how to replace the bushing in a hilling disc. On this planter, I see that there are two small disc's that cover up the seed. Do they have a bushing in them? If so, the right side looks like it's going to need to be replaced soon. At 18:02 you show a close up of it covering the seed and the right side is kind of flopping back and forth, while the left side seems to be doing a perfect job.

[@Jtwes]

lol Yes there both wore out. They don’t offer much help anyway.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

I thought the biggest issue was that last year when you planted early the corn came in when you were at the beach? Im almost ready now. Maybe by the end of the week...if not next?

[@Jtwes]

75 days puts us in the good

[@natevanlandingham1945]

@@Jtwes I thought Silver Queen was closer to 90 days? I googled and quick glance looks like Hoss Tools says 75 but most other places are closer to that 90 day mark?

[@Jtwes]

All of them are questaments it all depends on the weather rain heat how quick it come out of the ground how quick it started growing factors 75 days gives me two weeks buffer

[@bamatractor]

The question is , does your wife know you put them dirty rags in her washing machine?

[@Jtwes]

She put the detergent in.
