​

Our History

​

In 1977, we built first corn planter, for our own use.

2 row horse drawn, lever lift, long tongue, using used JD 1240 row units.

We built our second planter in 1978.

2 row horse drawn, lever lift, long tongue, using new JD 80 row units. 1979

We sold 5 planters, 2 row horse drawn, lever lift, long tongue, JD 80 row units. Coverted the planter to trailer type, MaxEmerge row units.
 

In 1980, we sold 9 planters, mixture of JD 1240, 80, MaxEmerge (7000) row units.

 

We now sell 100 to 150 planters per year.
 

In the late 70s & 80s we converted hunderds of old horse drawn planters to plateless, using JD 7000 meters.
 

In the early 80s we started building 2 row 3-point & pull type planters, using only 7000 row units.

Since 2013 we build complete new 4 & 6 row planters (PLANT MASTER) using our own frame & Shoup MFG. row units, similar to JD MaxEmerge Plus row units.
 

A big part of our business is designing & fabricating parts & attachments to convert and update older 7000 & 7200 planters, such as: no-till coulters, row cleaners, row markers, wheel frames, drive systems, & more.
 

We either fabricate or buy parts from other after market companies.
 

We also custom build planters for specialty needs such as: 15", 20", 24", & 28" rows. splitter planters for beans, folding planters, etc.
 

Either new or used, we customize each planter to match customer needs.
Thanks for your business!
