Dayton, IA | I still have the planter for sale if you want to save yourself some work! The hopper on the planter holds seed. On front of the hopper is a drum with holes that is gravity fed from the hopper. There is a fan on each hopper also that pressurizes the drum and pushes the seed into the holes and as the drum rotates around there are cutoff wheels that drop the seed from the drum into each seed tube and the seed is blown to the seed trench. The electric drive is mounted under the hopper and rotates the drum. This gives you variable rate seeding adjustable from the cab and row shutoffs. The guy I bought it from installed everything and he did a nice job. I think he told me it was the only cyclo or at least one of the only cyclos with electric drives. Tractor hydraulics control the air pressure to blow the seeds onto the drum and out to the row units, each drum has its own adjustment valve on the planter, so as long as you have enough flow from the tractor, the valve gives the blower what it needs and returns the extra to the tractor. As someone else stated, CIH row units use a leading disk, so this planter has 12 left units and 12 right units to make it pull straight.
