| Cracks leak air pressure so it doesn't push the seed down the tube well.
My cyclo 400 plugged one tube with beans one day. I never did find out why, didn't have a working monitor so I didn't know it in the field. Found the tube plugged end to end when I got back to the shed, shaked the tube and all the beans (not treated) ran out.
I have thought that points of seed corn roughen the inside of the tubes and so add to clumping. I found that insects just loved to build nests in the tubes including the pressure equalization tube from the drum area to the seed tank, so I swabbed them daily.
Several times while spilling seed with the cyclo 400 I was inclined to build a bonfire with it as the center but it doesn't have enough combustible material to add to the fire.
I last planted with a JD 7000 and it did a much better job.
