Cole planter ID help, please.....

[Jim Boyd]

Hey Folks

I have a chance to pick up this set of planters but am trying to get info on the model of the planters - or any other information someone might provide.

My intention is to primarily use them to plant corn.

Wish they had the fert hopper but you can see they do not.

Also you can see they take a seed plate that does not look like most of the plates I see when I Google Cole seed plates.

Not sure if they will stay on this tool bar or not - I am just trying to get info on the planters themselves.

All help is appreciated!

thanks

I am the owner of these current planters. I want to make sure that these go to Jim at a fair price. I have no idea what they are worth.

It's a cole multiflex, 12mx, I think you can get the fertilizer attachments for each row from cole in albany. That seed plate is for cotton.

I thought the 12 MX planters had a feature that allowed the planter to float?

The owner says he thinks they are model 41’s?

Thanks !

I am pretty sure they are the Cole Mod 41 planters but want to be 100% sure.

Check the Georgia Farmers Market Bulletin equipment for sale section and find what planters are being offered for sale.

Cole 41 were horse drawn but you could convert them to work on a toolbar, that is indeed what they are, the seed plates are still cotton, I don't know how well they'd work with corn but BST sells plates still.

@Jim Boyd If what I posted is correct about it going with a Cub, the club planter we had used a tractor mounted fert hopper

The seed plate that is out is a 4 cell corn plate. It has the cotton seed top. I have cotton and corn plates. They are stamped.

I have a shaker fertilizer attachment I used on an old IH planter that was designed for one row. May see if I can adapt it and convert it to split into two rows....

Thanks all!

Hijacking a little. Ok, a lot!

My dad is going to buy this one tomorrow. I love my food plots but between hogs and dry weather, I’ve never been into corn for food plots. That may change if I can ever move to Iowa!

No sir. It was a refurbished one that looks really great. We picked it up yesterday. Saved my dad $1800.00.
