Food Plots john deere planter question

[diamond hunter]

OK,I have a john deere 2 row planter.Is there a way to make the corn seeds come out further apart?How do you adjust this.The 5 acres of corn I have this year is going to be fine but the plants seem too close.Thanks

Not knowing which model planter you have, I'll just guess guess but it usually involves changing the sprockets on the chain drive.

OK,Ill do more homework,Ive got a year to figure it out,thanks

You're welcome. If you plan on keeping that planter for a while, I would recommend a manual to help you with proper set up. They can usually be found on eBay. Most of the food plot planters I've seen have been chopped up 7000 series versions if that helps.

Im almost certain that's what I have from looking online.Im looking for a manual soon.

How far is your spacing now? 4-6" is recommended

I had a 6 row jd planter for a few years, on it, you swapped the drive sprockets to increase or decrease seed population

 

[diamond hunter]

From what I can tell most of the spacing is 2"

 

[diamond hunter]

When we planted we were thinking it was 4,maybe it is 4 from center ofthr plants it just seems real close and I want to increase the spacing.

OK,where can I get some drive sprockets for a JD planter?

Have you tried your local JD dealership or the internet? Do you have a owners manual? If not, need to get one for the different sprockets for plants to fit your needs

If you determine that you have a jd 7000, let me know. I can send you copy of that section of manual.
