Subject: Deere Pro-XP Row Units



Does anyone have these row units with Mechanical Finger Pickup? I am wanting to build my own planter off of an old planter bar and air cart using these row units. It would be much simpler to stay with finger pickups and avoid adding a blower to the bar, and since the planter will be used only for corn I don't see the advantage of going VAC. (Will use the cart to meter beans for sorghum) All the Deere literature says that you have a choice between VAC and mechanical, and it has the mini-hopper and mounting brackets in JD Parts but dealer support is telling us that those row units are only available with VAC meters!!! They claim there is not mounting point for mechanical meters. I am fairly certain I have seen used 1770NT planters with mechanical meters on them. I may have to break down and buy Kinze row units, but I really liked the looks of the cast iron shank and pneumatic down force system.
