| So have been using hard boxes and pallet forks to gravity feed my soybean drill for years, and this year tried a partially filled hard box to fill my 6 row corn planter with individual seed boxes. Worked ok, but my seed dealer was nice enough to get me a pro chute that fits on bottom of the hard box that then funnels which will make it easier to fill individual seed boxes and also work better spotting it over the drill without needing for me to use a seed sign or whatever on one side to deflect and keep from losing some seeds. . Cost about $550 or so. It's from Bulk Seed Systems, Inc. Some assembly required, but not too bad. Easy for me to say as my seed dealer also put it together for me, lol.
Last year had a pallet of some 66# 80k seed corn. Yeah, my 67 year old body didn't like it much, so can relate. The hard boxes are so much nicer than the big bags, which I also gravity fed into drill when they were on a pallet with a hole in the middle where you could stop the flow, but so much safer having a side chute where you're not exposing body parts underneath. The pro chute also has a slide, but don't think I'll use it much, instead just using the hard box slide. | |

36 years with 7200 planter-is there a big advantage to update
