question about seed plate

[redinator]

looking at corn seed at rualking yesterday and noticed the bag of seed suggested a r-27 plate? this does not jive with jd numbers, any help?

 

[Leroy]

That is a Lincoln Ag plastic plate number with the R standing for a round kernal and the numbers are the size.

looked up # on lincoln site. just B and C prefixes

 

[Leroy]

The B means it is a plate to fit John Deere, the C means the plate fits McCormick. The R is actually part of the plate sizeing number. You have to look farther into the system.

The Lincoln Ag has a size chart you need to find on their site that gives the dimmensions of all their plates in shape of cell, length, width and depth and go acording to those sizes and then get with the company selling the corn to find out the sizes to fit them into the plate and I am sure if you would buy the corn if they could not come up with the dimmensions they use take a bunch of what looks to be the largest kernal in all directions and then measure them, they use 64" for sizing and then look fore a plate that is just a bit bigger than your measurements in all ways and you would find one that would work, you just do not want to go enough bigger that you would get 2 kernals to drop in at same time and shear one or both in to pieces. Thinking about it that unless it said plate Number that could be a mixed seed size for plateless planters and altho I have never been around a plateless I understand they have settings for different size seeds from a extra small-small round to a large-extra large flat that you have to set for. Think it probably has been 10 years since I bought corn as been retired for several years. So not up to date on things.
