southern MN | Yup, always some rootballs or something. I will have double disk dry openers in front, so that might make a difference.
So, I'm finally joining the modern world, and going to 30 inch corn rows on my small farm. Got a 6 row 7000. It has these odd 'row cleaners' fingers on it I assume I will be pitching as soon as it warms up enough to turn a wrench. Never saw anything like that before.
I figure might as well get presision meters rather than run these old ones through a checkup.
My old planter had an unsupported Hiniker monitor on it, told me speed, population, acres covered, plants per inch, really was kinda neat, way ahead of others for whenever it was made? This planter has a Dicky John monitor appears to have some lights on it, while that will tell me if a row is acting up think I will be disappointed on the info I'm not getting. Might have to look for something closer to the Hiniker. Agtronix seems to have an M-3 that looks like the Hiniker was.
Work in progress, but at least moving forward. Into the 1980's anyhow!!! :) :) :)
