You can look at the coulters, openers for wear and spin them to test the bearings. Spin the gauge and closer wheels to check the bearings.

Check the chains and sprockets for rust and wear.

The hard part is checking the seed pickup units.

Almost have to put them on a test machine to check them right.

Just got my row units back for the test machine and spent $75 a row to rebuild them. They have only been used 3 years. They were used about 220 acres per row.

It is tough to see all the moving parts on a planter.

General appearance may tell you how good of care the planter had.

Gary is right , also check the " hinge " point where the depth wheels fasten on . They get worn and need new bushings .
