Planter Walkway
I also made a walkway to mount across the toolbar on my Deere 7100 planter. The lower step lines up level with the pickup tailgate. Makes it much easier to fill the hoppers.
New chaff spreaders cost $650 to $1,000. I spent just $145 to mount these two straw spreaders on the back of my Gleaner M2 combine. The spreaders, which came off a Massey combine, mount just in back of the sieves. All I had to do was narrow them up about 12 in. and add a couple mounting brackets. I took the power off the straw walker, running a drive belt drive down to the spreaders. (Harold Fratzke, 234 Shoreview Dr., Cottonwood, Minn. 56229 ph 507 423-6341)
