Re: case ih concord 2400

We have used a 2400 cart for 14 years now (100,000 acres). Take a good look at the engine, the injectors can be a problem. Amity Tech makes a hydraulic drive fan assembly for a small fortune.

Also if it's a tow between watch for stress in the forward frame, we've had several cracks. The tanks can break out on the early models where the legs weld on.

Metering is fairly accurate and the feed system is as simple as it gets.

Overall a really solid machine. Not a lot of complicated parts or fancy stuff. But we've just put a lot of work into ours and think it'll run another 100K.

We are looking at an older concord double disc air drill and was wondering if anyone knows anything about them? Dealer lists it as a "Case IH Concord 2400" http://www.tractorhouse.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=5260796&dlr=1
Looking for thoughts on the cart (is it a good type? is the engine a bad idea? how accurate are the meters? what were the common splits?) as well as the seeding tool, I was told that they are comparable to a JD 455 for trash clearance and penetration? Are their any major down sides to this drill? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
We would be using this in conventional tillage as well as trying to do some seeding into pea/garbanzo bean stubble.
