Thanks Aaron!
Jay, that's a nice set up! I think you showed that pic one other time.... Maybe in the thread I had asking all those questions about the Brinly/Cole unit I have?
Anyway... Yes, the 71Deere row unit is also a popular choice. I would have taken one of those had I found it. Deere did make a really good planter. Afterall, Kinze copied it for their first row unit! But.... I really wanted a red one, lol.
I haven't done anything to the planter since my last post. The painted seed hoppers are almost dry. They still dented with a fingernail today, but just barely. Really, the biggest hold up is not having Argon for the welder. As soon as I get some more, I'll do some work on the hitch. I'm half tempted to just drag out the stick welder. I have plenty of rods.
