Looking to buy a new planter for 2015. 16 rows front fold, center fill, hydraulic drive, clutchs, pop-up fertilizer, pneumatic down force.
JD 1775 or CIH 1255?
Thanks.

What's your tractor in front? Having same color with only one display can be something to consider. I own a Case IH 1200 and very happy so far. put 4000 Ha on a 12 rows and pretty cheap to maintain. I had a deere before that and find my red planter was giving us less doubles and more uniform depth control. New J-D high speed planter looks pretty sweet though

Will buy tractor to match planter. Exact emerge is sold out.

I bought case early rise 1245. Seeded soybeans and had no issues. Singulation is a matter of trial and error to get them right. Overall happy with vac system.

buy it the next year...down prices anyway this year and probably next. Might be worth the wait to feel out the market

Case planters have Deere beat hands down.

I preferred the job the Case done but they have A LOT of parts that wear out; closing discs and down pressure spring tubes, seed boots and furrow points, and gauge wheel pivot points that are ungreaseable and not bushed when they wear out JUNK. I went with White. Very similar to Deere row unit but simpler.

Monosem...

Don't waste your time with a case or Deere.... Get the tracks and you will be more then happy... Will end up cheaper too

 

[8850jd]

Had Deere's and kinzes.... So after buying a monosem...... I say "waste" and that's being polite.

Monosem? a good planter?precision ok when running slowly but pièces quickly tired ( french construction) Jd since more than 20 years and a new horsch.

Go with a case and order with precision parts from the factory so you don't have to spend a bundle changing over. Both will do a great job but I prefer the trailing gauge wheels on the Case. Precision monitor allowed me to fine tune in my Case planter better than the Case monitor.

I am sorry, I don't understand this...

I would say that monosem planter, the most solded in my country, is quickly tired.

Just wondering what crops your planting and what your location is? Our next planter will be an electric drive. For us the fact that Kinze is investing a lot into their multi-hybrid planter shows it can make the difference in corn yield, thats what we want. The JD hi-speed is great in theory if you have mile long rows, 10mph is pretty fast and we just don't have that kind of fields or flat terrain to handle that speed. As of now we're gonna sit back and watch as some of the bugs get fixed and straightened out with both. If electric drives aren't the wave of the future then why are 2 majors companies investing in it? Case is behind on that battlefront.

Because marketing has to come up with something "new" to create sales doesn't mean its better.

Yeah true, well its a good thing you can do a drop test behind your planter and take yield data to see if it was a good buy or not.

I have an electric driven horsch planter since 2011 for sugar beet, soja and milo. You can adjust the population you want. The control is like précision planting. No problem with the motors.
