I folks, I'm sure my ignorance of the subject matter will become obvious, and at the risk of being burned at the stake, I'm going to trudge on.
I have the opportunity to purchase locally what appears to be a very clean and straight forward 494A planter. I know absolutely nothing about them, so I wanted to pick the collective brain to find out what issues I need to be on the lookout for, etc.
I also would like to know (and this is where many of you will laugh), if the planter can be used for other than corn applications? Primarily beans, peas etc.(are these paltes available)? It appears to be set on 30 or 36" spacing, but are they adjustable to bring those in tighter for beans?
Please see the attached photo. Are the hoppers up front original or replacements. Most of the photos I've seen have the large metal hoppers up front.
Thank you in advance,
