john deere 246 corn planter

[Daryl E Culler]

I attempted to plant sunflowers. I am afraid I planted them too deep. My 246 operator's manual said not to use the tractor hydraulics to control depth. I ran the depth control screw all the way out. I am looking for suggestions to keep the seed depth at around 1/2 inch. I don't think I can ever find gauge shoes.

Sir for what you are doing, any type runner will make a temporary guide
