You may have heard this before from some of your customers.

My first mistake was taking the JD 1910 after it arrived. It was a few weeks from stiptill time so I had to go with it. All parties involved here knew the axles were to be at 120-inch spacing. I’m not sure why that info did not get someone’s attention at JD. Obviously the front axle was not even close and the rear was off also. It went to the welding shop to widen the front axle and we got custom-made rims for the back wheels. My second mistake was to put fertilizer in it. Unless JD has made the meters and all associated parts stainless steel you’re not going to like the results. In less then three years both meters had to be replaced. About $3,000 apiece. I replaced them and then sold the cart to someone that was only going to use if for seeding. I now have a stainless steel Valmar tank and meter. Night and day difference between the two systems.
