| The SDX drills cause more hairpinning due to the larger blade (22-inch vs 18-inch). Also, seed placement is far from optimum, mostly because the SDX seed tube is so far rearward of the boot/scraper and blade, and therefore doesn't do much to direct the seeds into the furrow -- it's more of a splatter effect, with a significant % of seeds on top the ground. (However, the JD 50/60/90-series have a few issues with this also, especially if the seed boots are worn, or the seed bounce flaps broken or worn to nubs.) Additional problems caused by excessive sidewall blowout on the SDX. And, they seem to have trouble with their firming wheels/arms collecting mud, etc., and Case doesn't have the firming wheel as standard equipment any more!!! (they're an option -- I cannot fathom this approach).
