yetter coulters

[jsandy]

looking for replacement blades for yetter cutters -- john deere 66 plow -- 1" center (square)

Just go to any farm store that sells disk blades and buy the 16" blade, the 18" has too much dish for side pull to work. If you have any used 17" blades laying around they should work as that I believe is a heavy plow and I believe a 4 or 5 bottom, the bigger blades were just too much for a lighter plow like a John Deere No. 52 that is a 2 bottom. Used the disk blades for years and though no longer farming I still have several of the coulters laying around.

like Leroy says, they just are disc blades.

Leroy, Do you have a picture as to how they were set up on the plow ?

 

[Leroy]

Someplace I do have the operators manual for them but it would take me a year of digging through all mu books and manuals to find it.

Thanks Leroy. I will call Yetter. I think they would set up about the same as the IHC version of the Yetter .

i always thought coulters were built flat with bolt holes around a larger rd hole while disk blades were concave with a square or rd hole or sometimes a combination of both.

TX Jim,
Yes the std. plow coulter is round & flat ,notched or ripple. Several aftermarket manufacture came up with a coulter using a disc blade to help with covering trash. The older plows 1930's to 1970's were lower clearance. Here in the Midwest as corn population was getting thicker everyone was coming up with a new idea to keep the plows from plugging up.We had #9 wire from the coulter shank back & pulled giant wheels with rake teeth to pull the corn stalks into the back furrow. The popular manufacture of the disc coulter was Yetter, Lantz, & M&W. No till took over & now seed company are talking moldboard plowing every 3-5 yrs to get rid of the residue
