Subject: RE: JD DB80 32 row Planter seed delivery problems



I would check the meter plates on the rows that are giving you troulble and makes sure they are adjusted tight so that they maintain firm contact throughout the full revolution.  The plates all wear and warp differently and if you didn't get them back on the same row that might very well be your problem.  It doesn't take much play before several cells on the plate won't load each revolution.  We had the very same problem on our DB this spring, planted fine with the smaller seed sizes we started with but the first box of AR2's RIB everything went to heck.  If you dug behind the planter or turned the plate by hand you would swear everything was fine.  Took about an hr to figure out what the heck was going on.
