Close to 20 years ago I got rid of that 58 IH planter and bought a used very nice 7000 six row for $3700 on a farm auction. By far the best money I've ever spent. A 7000 will space the seed and keep the depth just as well as a brand new planter of any brand as long as you are under 5 MPH. The new ones do better than the 7000 at faster speeds if you're the kind of person who likes to go fast. Like what was mentioned before, when you plant $300 seed you want to do it right.
Another strike against an old plate planter, besides poor seed spacing is finding the right size seed to match your plates or vice versa. The 7000 does plant certain sizes better than other sizes, but there's still no comparison between finger VS plate. Jim
