Remember this: The sins of planting will haunt you all season.The ones with the center cross are not IH. There are also a myriad of parts that need to be checked on an old planter, but this info should help you get started. Some John Deere planters you can flip the floor plate over and try that, but usually that is for very large seed. If floor plate is not worm much, you are lucky. If it has deep grooves in it you can try one size smaller plate but that is chancy at best. With most old planters the floor plate is often well worn. The "newer" plastic plates have a little hole (1/8"?) drilled about 1/2 way thru the plate along the outer edge and is a "wear gauge" if you can see thru that hole then toss the plate as it is worn out. You will have to plant a lot of corn to wear out a new plastic plate. Plastic plates work as well, or better, than an old rusty metal plate. Planting "plateless" sized seed can be done with a plate planter.sort of, but prayer would be of help with this. IH plates can be used in 1968 & later models of Case planters. For Allis Chalmers and Cole an adapter is needed and Lincoln Ag has this. JD plates can often be used in 1968 & later models of White, MM, Oliver, Cockshutt and Dempster planters. The "B6" refers to the cell size, the 16 or 24 refers to the number of cells that plate has.
Lustran seed plates code#
Plates have a code stamped on them, such as B6-16 (16 cell) or B6-24 (24 cell). Both are the same light green color so look closely.
A B7-24 is to be tossed, it should never have been made. (Warning - With JD 24 cell planting MF, use a plate numbered "B7-24X", do NOT use a "B7-24". Note: If not planting accurately, try the next larger or smaller plate as some seeds might not fall into these categories. John Deere uses "B" plates, IH uses "C" plates. Following is a list of plastic plates you can use or buy to plant these seed sizes (Lincoln Ag data, no, I don't work for them either). Kernel sizes usually go by the following initials (I hope the columns match up the way I typed them):Ĥ. I'm 72 and can still tell the plate size just by the color of the plastic plate (yes, plastic plates are color coded as well). If the dealer does not know, go to a smarter dealer.if he is over 60 yrs old he will know this. Kernel sizes: If the bag does not state that info, ask the seed dealer. It should have the kernel size stamped on it for the seed that is in that bag. If set for 24 and you use 16 you will seriously underplant. If the sprockets are set for 16 cell plates and you use 24 cell, you will seriously overplant. The planter sprocket settings are crucial to accurately planting corn. If you don't have any plates for that plate-type planter, see #1. Count the "cells" or openings on the outer edge of the plates. Is your planter set for 16 cell or 24 cell plates? If you don't know, look at the plates that came with the planter. Binder Books is one source 50, 10am-5pm, Pacific time. Without it you will have continued problems.
Lustran seed plates manual#
Do you have an owner's manual for your planter? If not, please get one.
Hopefully, the following info will help:ġ. from "new" owners of old plate-type planters. This time of year there are often questions about plate-type planters, plates, sprocket settings, etc. Topic Preview: Plate-type planters and plates to match your seed size.Į-Mail: Plate-type planters and plates to match your seed size. Years ago had Oliver and not a single plate number matched in operators manual or plate sizes listed on bag, said on plate a size but it was way off on the actuall seed size. So best way is to take your seed and measure it and then find a cell size that it will fit into. Now here is the thing to watch out for, years ago things were sized differently than now, what was a medium then is now a large. But that lists all the cast plates Deere ever made along with the cell sizes also in 64th" and with that you can cross any Lustran plate to a Deere plate number or the Deere plates that will be listed in your owners manual and what each size plate was orignally for. Have one but would have to hunt, somebody else might know the book number. Lincoln Ag or Lustran plates on their web site list the cell sizes in 64th of an inch in sizes and that way you can acurately tell sizes and Deere did have a complete manual on nothing but plates and seed sizing.
