24 john deere fluted coulter row openers barely used
I ordered a new 2010 model 1790 John Deere 24 row 20 inch planter and it came with the standard row opener coulters paired up with a new style of Yetter row cleaners. The row cleaners would not work with these John Deere openers and I had to replace the whole unit with a Yetter opener and row cleaner combo unit. This left me with 24 John Deere opener coulters and brackets that I don't need. I used them on less than 100 acres before I determined that they were not compatible with the Yetter row cleaners designed for narrow rows. Actually, these coulters probably were not used on over 50 acres or so, but I did try them and planted a little but not very successfully. The coulters work fine by themselves or with just about any other row cleaners except a new style Yetter that does not give the dirt enough clearance to fall through their bracket framework.
These opener coulters are sold in a bundle by John Deere (part #30078) for $175 per unit. If you purchased all the parts separately, they sell for much more than that. They are all in like new condition and the black paint on the coulters is only worn off toward the outside of the blades. The John Deere dealer said that these units would bit most John Deere planters including most older models.
