Two Row John Deere Corn Planter Setup

I was asked to do a video on the john deere two row corn planter setup. I hope this is what you were looking for.

Your Dad was a wise man. Thing I remember my Dad saying was " If something is working leave it alone."

[@williesanford8394]

Do you run this on float when you are planting

[@williesanford8394]

I have one just like it that is set up for no-till

My wife tells me "If it is not broke don't fix it".

I have an old set of Covington two-row planters that I run with seed hoppers. When I got them I run two corn plates and two Bean or pea plates I have yet to change them they work on just about anything you plant. But you are so right about making sure your planter is adjusted to the tractor in order for it to work and plant properly. I believe you're the only one I've seen that shows you how to properly align adjust and set up a planter on KZbin yet. Great job👍👍👍

Thank you and thanks for watching

@@Mtnfarmer write your spacing on the onboard side of the seed bins right there by the sprocket.

[@horseblinderson4747]

Write all that spacing jazz on one of the bins with a sharpie.

Best video out there to explain the proper setup for these planters. I have been struggling to get my planter planter set up in a manner to get all the seed properly buried in the ground. I wish I had seen this video sooner, but at least now I know how to set up my planter properly. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos.

I had to go out to the tractor shed and my sure my tractor was here I left it lol.

[@jasonlougheed7558]

Crazy Question here but how do you handle the turns with corn or do you just stop ?

[@NiphatSaroi-et]

I come from thailand . It great .

[@lespotter7375]

Very informational it will help us want to be week end farmers

[@rossr277]

Would a d14 Allis Chalmers work for one of those?

[@Mtnfarmer]

Yes

[@kennethfishel5260]

Who made your corn planter? I'm more interested in the transmission. I just made my own 2 row 7000 maxemerge corn planter and I used a K&S Farms "Drivemission" www.plotplanters.com/standard_features.html Just curious as to who manufacturer your. Thanks in advance.

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Hmm, tempted ti buildnone of these now. Seems cheaper... really nice unit though.

[@edwardmartin1831]

Great video on planter adjustments Thanks and GODSPEED

[@williesanford8394]

I have a New Holland 55 tractor that has 3 positions for the top link top, middle and bottom with one do you use for best results

[@gregschultz2029]

Very Nice Job, explaining your 2 row corn planter ,Take Care !!!

[@31436908]

Good explanation. Thank you.

[@chrishasley2808]

Hey I was looking to get the same planter. Any idea if an L3901 kubota will be able to plant with your planter? Specs say about 1200 lbs lift at 24 inches behind lift points.

[@Mtnfarmer]

It should handle it just fine. Thanks for watching

[@roofdriller1537]

Hey i have a question about turn plows, i have a set of double 14 in international super chiefs and where your center pole hooks up, front and back on the plow itself, they are approx 2 1/2 in apart and the one to the back is lower just a tad, how will this affect the plowing?

[@TheJohndeere466]

If you use the hole closest to the front of the plow it will make the back of the plow cut deeper. If you use the other the hole it will make the back of the plow cut shallower. The idea is to get both bottoms cutting the same depth.

[@roofdriller1537]

@@TheJohndeere466 thankyou sir. sincerely thanks

[@roofdriller1537]

@@TheJohndeere466 what about the floats on the lift arms, if you turn them horizontal they hold down, you would want that for the tiller and not turn plows right?

[@troybounds883]

Will you share your notes on your transmission seating Where did you purchase this planter

[@Mtnfarmer]

I will be happy to I don't remember off the top of my head so I will have to look. I bought it for RDH outdoors and was very pleased. Thanks for watching

[@jeepcj3b436]

Couple of questions. 1. Where are you located (North Carolina)? 2. How do you apply fertilize to your corn and how much? I've been looking at replacing an older Cole corn planter that applies dry fertilize for each row (on a very imprecise basis) with one like you have here but most I have seen (like yours) do not have a fertilize bin. We used to broadcast fertilize before planting tobacco but my experience with corn was always better using sidedressers. Thanks.

[@Mtnfarmer]

I'm In western NC between Asheville and Boone We broadcast our fertilizer Thanks for watching

[@timo7408]

@ Jeep there are deere 7100 and 7000 planters with fertilizer bins. I think that is a 7100 could be a 7000. I run starter mix when planting then side dress nitrogen. I think side dressing the nitrogen saves on fertilizer. Just my opinion

[@richardschaffling9882]

Good video

[@glennedgar5057]

Giod video. Thanks

[@williesanford8394]

Do the run it in Float when you are planting?

[@Mtnfarmer]

you can

[@williesanford8394]

I have a New Holland 55 that has 3 positions for the top link top, middle and bottom witch one do you put your top link bar in for best results

[@Mtnfarmer]

@@williesanford8394 try the middle usually it will work best if it does not pick up high enough move it to the top hole. Thanks for watching

[@bcroft68bc]

How wide are your rows?

[@Mtnfarmer]

30 Inches Thanks for watching

[@bcroft68bc]

Mtnfarmer can they be set for 36 inches? I have some really old Cole planters but I’ve been wanting to get some newer planters like these but I like planting 3 foot rows. Also, do these have plates that I can use to plant peas and beans?

[@Mtnfarmer]

Yes when I ordered it they asked if I wanted 20-36 and I think I could move it to 36 just have not looked at it close enough to say for sure.

[@Mtnfarmer]

30-36

[@longviewfarm226]

Thanks for that I have the same planter haven’t seen a video on it anywhere
