Subject: Re: Seed spacing?



If the drive turns the drum smoothly (and without the weather striping or dimples the drum wheels will drop in between the bumps and the drum will move in notches) I think the biggest impediment to even spacing is rough pipes. I know I had to swab them to get bug nests out each day and I suspect my old pipes were rough and made the seed flow unevenly depending on whether a pointed end of corn hit a dip or now. But one year a pipe plugged with beans. I didn't notice it and when I got done the pipe cleaned out just because I shook it. I have a surplus of Cyclo 400 parts that may end up as radio antenna parts..
