There were several different sizes, 325's, 375's mostly. Neighbor had a 325 they bought with the 10 year warranty, 6 transmissions in 10 years. as soon as warranty expired it was traded on a green one. No idea on the ones at Landpro, most all the early STX's are long gone now. the new Steiger series seems to be holding up a lot better and red is starting to make a comeback in this area, The STX and MX series were the best thing to happen to the Deere dealers in this area. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ihcubguy 190 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I just wish the farm was not rented out and we still had equipment to plant it with. What we had at the end was a 2007 Kinze 3000 4 row with inter plant for7 row 15 inch beans that we pulled with the 7120. Hard for me to believe it's been 6 years already that we have rented the farm out. At least the people who rent it use red equipment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maxxum 140 123 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 My 70 year old neighbor still plants between 150 and 200 acres of corn with a JD 494a 4 row wide planter. Has enough cash to buy a brand new 12 row and tractor to pull it but that's not how his dad did it so he can't either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littletom 26 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 We only transplant tobacco. John Deere 5085m and a no till cm transplanter mounted with water tank on front of tractor. All the ground is strip tilled Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty cool little setup Binkley & Hurst built us the planter to our specs. Look at it close you see the tongue is a lighter blue color than the planter is. Cannot remember exactly anymore but I believe it was because the tongue was from something Kinze made for Monosem? Or maybe the frame was? I do not remember exactly anymore but that is how it was delivered brand new to us though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
