To much?


I picked up this planter at an auction for $495. Dad runs 2 different cyclo IH planters. This thing will pay for its self in parts after one breakdown.

Nice grab. Besides being a valuable parts source, with steel prices like they are there's a good amount of steel there for projects and repairs.

Those are damn good planters. If it is in decent condition itmay prove valuable as a backup or to plant a different variety.

Look at that proud little champ :PDT_Armataz_01_37:
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

We think they are great planters as well. Look at a field planted with a $4,000 6 row cyclo 900 vs a field planted with $20,000 6 row kinze and you can’t tell a difference. (At least that was the case last summer vs a neighboring field. )

The main reason I got it so cheep is it’s set set 8 on 36. This whole area is on 30”.

But after looking at it I think we might have a summer project. It’s in really good shape, actually in very good shape for its age and has been barn kept. Only one welded bracket will need moved (the trailer axle lift cylinder). The row units are nice and tight, opening and closing wheels are in great shape, and it also a bunch of yetter accessories. After a considerable amount of work I think it would make a great primary planter, we shall see.

$500?? Is that a typo? If not you stole the thing!

We never ran Cyclo planters (always Deere or kinze) but know they have a cult following for a good reason.
