Got mine probably 15 years ago new at a tractor show flee market. Got the planter with marker (only good for 20" rows) fertilizer (never tried using) and the extra plates all for $20 something. Haven't used for several years as I could not get a garden out. Would like to again if I could find someone to repair my garden tractor enginesthat would do it right and that I could afford. Few year ago I had several at local shop to get running and was there for 2 years when I brought them home unfinnished. Cannot do the work by hand anymore. The planter I never tried for the small seeds but for corn, beans and peas it worked good, the only thing I did not like was it spaced the seed way to far apart but as I was using twine to mark every row I would just go down one side of the twine and double back on the other side. My ground is very hard crusty and without putting in the extra seed I would not have gotten enough up for a crop, good sandy loam should not have to over plant on population as I have to. Small stones like to bounce it around and did have to also go over the row to make sure the seed was covered, that little chain just did not do the job but way better than planting it all with a hoe. The seeds not feeding in when getting low just stop and tip the planter side to side and it will fill up next to the plate for a while and repeat but it is easy to watch and see if it is missing on planting a seed.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
