I just hope that even if you end up with a machine of a different color, you will be happy.
Shoup can get me parts for my 7000 almost overnight, and they stock every single part for the planter. Cheap as dirt, I may add....
I know all about the super M. my dad had one on the picker for years. It is so easy to fall in love. Years and years later, I bought a C, just for fun, I made it tick like a swiss watch. I held it for a while, but like a finch you find stuck in the weeds, once you hold it in your hands, you realize it belongs in the air and not in your hands.
I sold it to someone who loved it and let it be free of daily torture.
The equipment I do torture daily, gets fed nightly like draft horses. I let the machines be inside and give them grease and oil and clean them if they need it. Sometimes I leave them out for the night,but I let them know it is just for the time and not permanent.
I don't ride a desk, but, I am not far from it. I don't have enough acres because of Marcellus gas, to make a full time living. I used to have.
What I do hope is that you know the pressure is not the issue I think. What I think the issue could be, is the clutch slipping just a tiny little bit. It's doing it evenly enough to not notice the drum not turning, but I don't think it is keeping up with you. You can slow all the way down to 2.5 - 3 mph. I do it all the time. It feels so horrible, but I just accepted it. I settled down in the cab and just went along for the ride. Where else can you have that view and that feeling? enjoy the ride. I always do...
I just hope that when you consider a planter that is not the one you have, that you consider a planter that almost every farmer has or had, and every part is available instantly. Also, the aftermarket caters to upgrades and things you would never consider, but do add more precision. I would not suggest 30 year old equipment, that has proved to be unreliable for 30 years. No jabs at pre-Tenneco merger red paint... I do own and care deeply for my red paint. That is only because I have done enough "test plots" to make the equipment compete with newer equipment, but on a shoestring budget.
Next year, you will be better off, regardless. You will get this figured out and you will succeed. I have faith and I know you will do well.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
