TSR":35rdqj4g said:Mike I bought a drill similar to yours about 3 yrs ago. I used it to drill some rye and it worked really well. This year when I got ready to use it the darn thing was frozen up and wouldn't turn. When I tried to force the gears to stay engaged while my son ws driving slowly pulling it I broke one of the pot metal arms that operates the gears. No longer available from J Deere. I have considered just chaining it up direct so that any time your pulling it, it is turning putting out seed and all you would have to do is keep the oulets closed until you get to where you are going to plant. Have you ever had yours to freeze up and what did you do to get it unstuck (the long shafts that run through it)? And have you ever seen one chained direct like I'm talking about?
