Been pulling a 15' 1560 jd no-till with dolly and yetter markers for 15 years with a 4430 no problem at all. It will put seeds in to concrete. It flattens the stalks out great! You will love it!
I bought a 750 last year and I love it. Used it for cover crops last fall and oats and soybeans into cornstalks this spring. Worked fantastic. My 1086 pulls it no problem. I bought the drill I did because it has a lot of Needham Ag parts - good upgrades. I'm not too far from you - Princeton - if you want to check out any of the Needham parts.
Nice!!! That's really all that I can say Jon... There are no rentals around here, we borrowed one for a few years, spent enough repairing it every year before we could use it..😂🤣 The owner sold out and moved out of state, would have loved to have been able to buy it, but.... It was a 12' great plains. Lifted nice and high!! We put swather tires on it for floatation.. you know you are stuck, when the drill is raised all the way up and the openers are still in the ground!!!
We just picked up an 1860 no till air seeder for what we thought was a a steal. Bought it again fixing the row units Haha. All new blades boots firming wheels gauge wheel rubbers and bearings firming and closing bushings and all seed tube hoses. But it should last us a long time. I better not show you any video of us using it on our well tilled soil lol. Goodluck looks like a nice drill. Ps I'm sitting here in the digger tractor at 3am going back and forth dreaming about no till 😂
Lol. I get so many people that after they have a couple years on one field of soil health weather its five acres for some guys it could be a hundred acres for other guys they all say the same thing. How it feels like such a waste of time when they still do conventional on the rest of their Farm. LOL I never watch their stuff I was just kidding. Seen the thumbnail thought it would be a funny comment. I think the 6000 to 10,000 I saved in price difference will be used up to make it look like new again. But once the row units are rebuilt there should be a lot of Acres that can go under that machine again.
These are great drills. The only thing missing from yours is the grass seeder. I wonder how much it would be to add one. My 4020 dualed up pulls it just fine but I really liked using a 4250 power shift especially on those chilly fall evenings drilling wheat after soybeans.
Looks great. Just finished instilling all my beans. It took a little bit to get 7se to what way would work best for me. But did a great job. I really like the Marten closing wheels I got from Needham. They did a great job closing the the seed in all ground conditions. The OEM was noticeably different and left it open in wetter areas like the grassy field. The V8 firming wheels did get in the trench better. The 8300 drill I traded for this one was able to set the seeding rate up way more precise. I do need the info on setting up the seeding. On the left side it planted 230k and the right side was 190k. I was shooting for 180k. Tinkered with it to shoot for 150k to finish and not run out of seed. Other then that, I loved it.
Still can't believe you didn't swing by so I could drool over it being you drove right past here! Glad you added a nice drill to the machinery line up Jon
Now you got to give us some specifics! width, row spacing? Etc get that drill tuned up right, get some good no-till coulters on it and instead of tillage, You will probably find much like I did... why not just take the drill out and put some cover crop in while you're doing your "no till coulter tillage?". Those fluted coulters chop up residue and flatten a field out better than a disc or a field cultivator on most days. So why not plant a little legume or rye or cover crop while you're out dragging a piece of equipment across your land? Cover crops and soil health fit like a hand in a glove! The more you use that drill to establish soil aggregate and cover crop roots, I think the more you will see less need for tillage and more and more need for no-till grain drill. Good purchase! I look at our drill as one of the most important pieces of equipment on our farm, are drill enables us to plant our own nitrogen in the event we ever have a massive nitrogen shortage, our drill allows us to plant cover crops so we can plant green and crimp with the planter for weed suppression in the event we ever have a massive herbicide shortage. A good grain drill is what every good prepper farmer should have! Lol
I'm excited. Specialty peas work better with a drill than a planter! I will have half the farm to drill this summer into cover crops! Lots of winter Rye, Clover, vetch, radish, grasses
Great purchase. There tough to find! I just bought a 20 footer down here in Southern Minnesota back in March. Used it for soybeans behind a 4755 and it worked great. A little tricky getting the seed rate set a first
Before we had a drill we wondered if we needed one... Now we have owned a drill for a few seasons it's one of the most important pieces of the puzzle to regenerate soil health through cover crops. I have found my drill runs everyday in the spring that it possibly can and every day in the fall that it possibly can. What other piece of equipment can you say that about? soon you'll be more concerned with getting off your combine so you can hop on that drill and chase the combine behind soybean harvest! Austrian winter peas right behind a soy bean combine is a winning combination for the next years crop. Looks like that's a 17.6 footer? You're going to really enjoy the savings on cover crops as you can cut back to about half rate and get better than the same result utilizing the spreader
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 That's a dang good idea My drill isn't really set up to take row units off that easy but that John Deere that you got will be much easier to do that. Hmmm... now you got me thinking I need to go look at my drill and see!!!
@@tedkahler9738 Ted, I read somewhere that the steel sleeve seed boot fix like you did can be a problem with the bolt rusting into the sleeve after some time? I have no idea if it's factual. maybe anti seize on the bolts fixes that? I've got a 750 that should be here in a week or so, and I'm already shopping for parts and knowledge
Yes! We ended up getting a 107 haybuster which works fine but I am hoping one day we can justify a John Deere. Everything I have seen and read make it look like they are the cat’s meow. Can’t wait to see it in action!
Nice clean looking machine. Yes they pricey still bringing 25000 up here. New 1590 80000. You would have to pound a pile of pavement to make new one pay. If you could mount a wavy coulter in front they would be even better. Most up here use a Salford type machine in front.
I would think since the soil is very mellow and we're not going that deep. I gave up a couple fields that at one end of each field was such a quick study prize that the 4020 had a hard time pulling the Brillion. And if I didn't have the duels on the 4640 I couldn't pull the eight row corn planter up the hill.
My problem Jon is I love buying stuff. Paying for it is sh1ty part lol. Boy you do know those drills inside and out. Nice drill. We have a great plains. prolly never heard of them. Take Care
At the one water office the guy laughed. He asked how many acres I have to do and 140 right now and then another several 100 this fall. He just laughs and says it's a 7-footer it's not happening
I was thinking about Rick's tractor pulling the drill. Hp wise just shift down a couple gears. Wieght wise a round bale on the front spear might be needed?
I hate to admit my 750 drill has been great..did J,D boots and baldest two years ago..put new bolts in with boots tighten it up good..bought turf tread for front roll better in mud..
I hit the shoups 10 percent off in February and keep some needham firming wheels, a couple updated closing arms on hand. I put the shoup boots on wich was a mistake, a couple of them the mounting holes weren't straight and they didn't ride flat against the blades, quality has gone to crap at shoups on some stuff. A guy looks in the parts books and everything is ×24 wich is painfull, so I just did the boots and mounting hole bushing and blades and everything else as they go bad.
What did the updated closing arm do for you? I won't get blades or wear items from them. The opener discs on my white planter are from Ingersoll and after 4 years they still look like brand new. After 4 years the ones from schuppe would be having bearings fail and the blades would be showing some wear. Probably can't afford to do a complete Needham Ag rebuild this summer. I am trying to see what it needs for a rebuild.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Nothing function wise, other than I shouldn't have to put a bearing in it again and I got the notched closing wheels with the updated arm. I just keep a few and replace them as the bearings go out so I dont have to buy all 24.
Is yours in early serial number? Compared to an early serial number this one already has the different bearing set up For the money I'll probably just do an oem rebuild. To go with all that aftermarket stuff would double or triple the cost.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I beleive its a middle production one just like yours, the previous owner put some aftermarket seals on the closing wheels but everytime I took one apart they'd crack and the bearings where packed full of dirt so they didn't work anyway. I don't know if the notched closing wheels are that big of a deal on a drill but shoups notched wheel was way cheaper than exapta and needham and plus ya got the 1560/90 arm and bearing. Especially if ya wait till the NFMS when they run 10% off.
I got the bushing tool if ya want it to, or I bet Ted still has his. The boots will still have a little slop but it puts it back oem at least ya dont have to drill boots everytime ya replace them
Wait, just because ryan didn't want to no till alfalfa you didn't consider a Kuhn? I would have been out on kuhn cuz it's probably twice the price of the one you bought lol
I have no idea what they did or didn't want to do. I just saw the thumbnails and thought it would be funny. I bet new a 15 foot would be about four times the price.
Last week there was a 30 foot deere seeder someone made with 7000 units on 8" spacing with a gandy air box on it went for 3500$ close to me. A little to big for my little dab but would if been dandy for you other than hauling probably 600 miles. Lol
Hi Jon, weird question, but could I come by and get the length height width of the 750 from ya? I bought one online kinda a ways away and am having a time trying to get it from the dealer for whatever reason.
I just came across your channell today.i am after watching 3 or 4 of your videos.i love the fact that there is no bs or politics in your vidoes.our fields and farms are a lot smaller here in Ireland.. always dreamed of the prarie fields of the USA..

My 1590 has the front dolly wheels they’re nice unless you get into a soft spot then they absolutely suck because they just start plowing

Looks like you got a nice drill there Jon !
Nice drill Jon . 4430 alto pull it just fine . One our customers had one he pulled with a 4240

Someday! Lol
Nice same as mine only better looking my serial number is 609
Put lots of new parts on it sure does work nice
