Subject: RE: John Deere air seeder's


nw MN
The cart would be like the box on your drill. It meters the seed but instead of dropping it straight down to the opener it drops it into a primary air tube. It blows into a tower where it divides it into around 10 (depending on size of drill) secondary tubes which go to the opener.

Not much more maintenance than your 750. Like I said the openers are the same. 6 big seed meters vs 60? Small ones on a box drill. You gotta run a fan which can be a headache on older tractors. Hoses wear out every few years. Deere blockage monitor can drive you nuts. Air seeder tanks are a lot easier to clean out at the end of year or when switching variety. Row to row population is probably better with the box drill.
