Food & Test Plot Planters
Food & Test Plot Planters
Custom-built planters for food or test plots, with adjustable rows, spacing, seed and fertilizer options.
Planter Frame
Our 3-point planters feature locally built, brand-new frames that can be sand-filled for extra weight. Rebuilt row units come with new blades, parallel arm bolts, bushings, and seed boxes, giving a nearly new look. These custom-built planter frames are in high demand, so place your order at least six months in advance.
Built with OEM Parts
Our planters use standard John Deere parts, so replacements are easy to find at any dealer. They can also be fine-tuned with row cleaners, seed firmers, drag chains, or foam markers to fit your needs.
Custom Build
Our standard planter has a 2-row, 30” spacing frame, but we can adjust spacing from 15” to 36” and build 2 to 4 rows. The planters work with either finger or vacuum meters, and we have corn and bean meters in stock. We also offer solutions for small grains, sunflowers, and similar crops.
Fertilizer Options for Your Planter
These planters are designed so a fertilizer kit can be added anytime. Our standard kit is for dry fertilizer, with a box above the frame that meters into double-disk openers. Liquid fertilizer kits are also available, and you can choose your preferred tank, pump, plumbing, and application system. We recommend visiting our shop to see the options before placing your order.
Ground Drive
The front drive wheels have two jobs. They power the seed and fertilizer and control the frame height. There is no need to adjust the 3-point. Just lower it fully, make sure the wheels are on the ground, and start driving. With the frame supported by the wheels, the drive rarely slips.
