I could watch this video 15x and still love it. Great job! Maybe I will be able to eventually have a no-till drill if I do it this way! Excellent video and explanations. Thank you

I don't know what you have in that drill but I would bet all toll it is much cheaper than a new one. I have rebuilt a lot of equipment for that same reason. Your refurbished drill will last a good long time. Great job...

From what I could find the coulters new for that drill is 18 inches across, mine were just over 17, so I’m guessing someone replaced them not too long ago. I just stuck with the ones that came with it. I’d check out Shoup if you need some. www.shoupparts.com/

Mike, we located a hub and got it installed. Works great; thanks for the tip. The next project is to replace the seed cup on the far right side of the drill when standing behind it. Based on your video (19:46) we'll need to remove the entire rod, replace the cup and then re-install the rod; correct? Any tips that we should keep in mind as we execute? Thanks again! Jeff

Mike, I am also in Michigan and have just purchased what looks to be the same unit. I loaded it with rye seed in the large seed hoper and planed. It looks to be planting over 200 lbs of seed / acre! I can not see and way of reducing the flow of seed. I like you have a 20 tooth sprocket and could start bu changing it to 10, but is that the only seed flow adjustment?

@michaelmiedema9687 10 ай бұрын

You should be able to open and close the seed cups by loosening the lock bolt on the large wheel on the side of the seed bin ( where the chain is attached to the sprocket). By turning that wheel it will move the square bar that goes through the seed cups to open them for more seed, and close them for less seed.

What is the trick to getting the old double disk openers off?

@michaelmiedema9687 Жыл бұрын

One side is right hand threaded (normal) the other is left hand threaded.. it’s designed so when the disk is moving forward the bolts tighten on both sides. You want to turn the bolts towards the back of the drill to loosen them. Hope that helps

@BradJonesjeeptchr 2 жыл бұрын

So, I have one of these, and was looking at it today, how do you remove the original openers? I’m sure there is a trick, I just haven’t figured it out yet

@michaelmiedema9687 2 жыл бұрын

If I understand the question, removing the double disks, from the back, the one on the right is right hand thread, the left is left hand, so when the drill is moving forward it tightens the “axel bolt “ on both sides. I found holding the disk with a vice grip to keep it from turning helps

Mike, Great Video. I hope you are still monitoring this thread. A friend of mine and I just acquired a Tye 104-4404 pasture pleaser. Today the drive coulter broke where it connects to the disc (hub) that drives the chains. I've looked at several Tye parts stores on the web but can't seem to locate the part number nor the actual hub. Would you happen to know the part number and a parts dealer that would have the part on hand. Thank you so much! Jeff

Mike, it's been 2 years since you posted this video. Hope you're still monitoring the thread. I have a question that's not been addressed in the comments. I'm in the process of restoring my family farm to a pollinator friendly wildlife sanctuary/ tall grass prairie, southern Oklahoma. The 1st (35 acres) parcel is now ready for planting. The seed mix, which is heavily forbes, as well as native grasses, is 'fluffy'', as native mixes are. I noticed your drill doesn't have an agitator to keep the heavier seeds from settling to the bottom. The newer drills seem to have agitators. Do you think this is an issue for uniform distribution? Are you pleased with the out come of your plantings 2 years ago? Would appreciate any insight you (or others) may have.

@michaelmiedema9687 Жыл бұрын

The drill have done very well for me planting beans and many cover crop mixes, but it doesn’t do very good native mixes. They are too fluffy to feed through the seed cups. I don’t know if mixing the seed with something like pelletized lime would work or not.
