NW Iowa | I went from a brown box to a 2020 on a 12 row 7200. The first year I wasn’t too sure about this newfangled to me 2020 so I ran both monitors at the same time. When I settled in with planting corn row number 12 was showing singulation in the low 90% range on the 2020 monitor when the rest of the rows were running 98-99%. The Old Deere brown box did not indicate anything wrong. After spending a half day fiddling with everything I could fiddle with I pulled the caps off the big black vacuum tube that runs across the planter and found a mouse nest in the black tube between row 11 and row 12. Pulling out the mouse nest solved the problem. The next year the brown box went in the drawer and is still there. When I stored the planter away I removed the caps from the black tube and pulled off all of the row unit vac tubes and put them in the boxes. No more mouse problems. No more ground up mouse coming out of the fan first time in the spring and no more mouse smell.
