Per acre, the seeder sees a lot more wear than your tractor does. Go to a neutral site, and look for yourself. Iowa State is one example. They publish rates that are surprisingly accurate. A 220 Hp tractor and 24 row x 30" planter turned out to be 80/20 a few years ago when I had to do the same math. Just 20% on the tractor. For what it costs to correctly maintain any piece of seeding machinery, this was no surprise. Yes, you want SOMETHING for your tractor, but in reality you may be at 40% him [his share of the planter], 40% you [your share of the planter] and another 20% for you on the tractor. so..... 60/40 once you guys come to an agreement on "per-acre" costs.
