NC South Dakota | Watch this animation. Watch closely from 00:20-00.48.

With a standard seed tube you are dropping straight down between the opening disks.
Look how far back this thing is throwing the seed so the seed doesn't bounce.
Way back out of the openers before it hits the bottom of the trench!
IF the seed trench collapses before the seed reaches the bottom it would explain ALL OF YOUR ISSUES.
Deere(looking at the animation) F*%&ed up..
This design needs a seed boot (like a case row unit) if you are planting into dry conditions. If the top inch of soil is bone dry no mater how much downforce you add it will collapse and mess with your depth.
* I am a Deere row unit fanboi for notill so no bias here
Deere obviously didn't test this thing in the Desert
This is just my observations watching the animation and learning (the hard way) why my corn stand is hot garbage.
I have never ran an ME5 row unit and my opinion is based solely on the animation.
What were planting conditions on the worst fields or soil types?
