With the old 7300 you could fine tune the vacuum where you'd have very few doubles and be right on the money with pop in the end.

Haven't planted cotton with these new planters yet. Up untill last year 7300's, this year 1720's. Posted 09:34 (#8877 - in reply to #8867) Subject: RE: JD Vac planter questions This may be because of the tratment or it may be as simple as my gauge is out of caibration.Īnybody have any suggestions or comments? It seems running the vacuum an inch of so higher than recommended helps. After about half the box is planted and the seed is well mixed my counter settles down and will get as low as 300 difference high to low across the planter. If I put just a touch of powder in the bottom of an empty hopper then put in seed and mix it well things go better. If I dump in a hopper full of seed and throw some powder on it, as most people seem to tell me they do, my population counts go nuts. It seems lubricant is VERY important to getting things even. And how do I easily determine if this is actual variation or a difference in seed sensors? How much variance should I be seeing row to row in population? I see as little as 300 and as much as 2000 from high to low. I have the planter set for 27,300 but my monitor consistently says I am averaging 28-29,000. So far I have used only the standard JD plates. I've been using JD talc mixed 4 parts talc to 1 part graphite as the Precision folks suggested. I've been planting Beck's Hybrids with FaStart, which is a heavy coating with Poncho 150 etc. We are pulling a 12 row JD 1770 with a CIH 7210. I've got about 450 acres under my belt and starting to figure out a few things.
