    If he used gravel instead of concrete would that follow the ground better?

    Very interesting idea and I assume you pour the concrete vertically. Make sure you vibrate it to remove all the air you can and insert 2 or 3 pieces of rebar.

    JD 1500 power seeder

    Thanks for the heads up on the manual and I’ll get it ordered. The cultipacker wheel I was thinking of is the one I attached and I could mount them with bolts and oilite bushings. To this novice it looks like it would be a fairly simple solution and the price is right plus the bushings and...

    JD 1500 power seeder

    I have another idea, so please bear with me and tell me what you think. I’ve seen different manufacturers drills that include heavy cast iron wheels and even a full width packer mounted in the general position of the plastic wheels on the jd1500. That said, do you think cast iron wheels could...

    JD 1500 power seeder

    Thanks for the great advice and I’m very much a novice with grain drills. I’ve got plenty of cornhead grease and I’ll load the boxes up when I install the new cutting discs. The 1500 looks a little different from yours where the cutting discs mount, it’s just a clamp on style with the...

    JD 1500 power seeder

    As I search for OEM style closing or firming wheels I begin to question how they actually work. The front cutting discs are 1/4” thick and cut a 1/2” wide trench from what I’ve read. The closing wheels are also 1/4” and I assume they ride in the 1/2” trench. Other drills use wider wheels to...

    JD 1500 power seeder

    We took the drill to the farm yesterday and hooked it up to the tractor to make sure everything works, lube it up and assess any needs. After spraying the parts that need to move with AeroKroil it loosened up nicely and the right wheel turns everything smoothly. There are a couple of plastic...

    JD 1500 power seeder

    I have a Kubota m7060, 71 hp with a cab, loader and 4wd and I’ve ordered a manual. All it really needed was the blades and a couple of hoses.

    JD 1500 power seeder

    The local shop quoted $16 each and I asked them to quote AR as well. I’ll let yall know what they say. Thanks I spoke with the shop and AR400 will be $30 each so I’ll go with that. Thanks for everyone’s help and advice!

    JD 1500 power seeder

    Paul, They are 12” in diameter, 1/4” thick and have a .90” hole in the center. I did try Shoup and most every place I can think of. Thanks

    JD 1500 power seeder

    I’ve been checking around online and locally and AR400 is out of my price range. I’ve considered welding AR tips on the existing worn out discs, but that’s expensive and a lot of work. Thanks

    AR is more than twice as much and we only plant about 15 acres once a year in river bottom. No sand or rocks in the soil around here. Thanks

    JD 1500 power seeder

    I purchased a JD 1500 power seeder for planting small food plots and it’s in pretty good shape. The only things that need replacing are the cutting discs and they are not available along with a host of other parts. I set up a CAD file to duplicate the discs out of mild steel and sent it to...
