| A lot of years ago I put Precision finger meters on our planter. No difference the first year but I went back to Deere right out in the field the 2nd year after I found the Precision worked terrible! Maybe 50% population.
I disasemble the entire meter and clean everything every year. The springs are stored in a container instead of being strechted in the meter for a year. I learned the hard and expensive way that dissasembling a Precision finger meter destroys it.
Another year I tried Skip-Stop on one row. Skip-Stop is a foam section near where the finger discharges the seed. It supposedly stops seed from ricocheting out of the seed belt and prevents a skip. So help me I could not tell any improvement and reallly thought it had more skips.
All I can tell you is you can try a lot of this stuff on a single row, on your farm and in your conditions. Most of it you will not care for. | |
