He Converted White 4-Row Corn Planter To No-Till Planter
 ✖  |
Burton Graves, Sandusky, Mich.: "I converted my White 4-row corn planter to a no-till planter by adding 17-in. dia. spring-loaded, fluted coulters off an International Harvester moldboard plow directly in front of the planter's double openers. The coulters penetrate the ground and do a good job of cutting through trash. They cost very little. To each row, I welded a 6-in. piece of steel the same size as the plow beam and clamped the plow coulter to a bracket that holds one side of the planter unit, by turning offset on shank sideways. I made the change 18 years ago. I've worn out two or three sets of blades since then. The spring-loaded coulters can run over rocks without breaking anything."
