I've got an 800 with most of the 900 updates. This is my first year trying no-till, on soybeans. In the ground that has actually been dry enough to plant, mine has done a good job of penetrating, cutting trash, seed depth, and covering. I just set it for about 7 oz. of air, which is what has worked well for me with beans in the past, I set the seed tube extension about 2" out of the chute, Set the depth about 1-1/2" deep, set my population at 140,000, and pull it in 1st Hi on the old 806. (About 5.5-6 mph) This is my 3rd year with the cyclo, and the only condition I've found that didn't work well is too wet. (DUH!) It would open the trench, place the seed, but wouldn't cover it. Clay don't like wet. I consider my planter 3/4 worn out- I replace the covering disks as the bearing go bad, the chains are stretched and on the max on the tensioners to get them reasonably tight, I did get all new seals for the seed drums and hopper lid, replaced the seed release wheels, and re-sealed the hopper halves. I am satisfied with mine, especially since I can't upgrade to a nice newer CIH 1200. I get mine to do as good of a job as the neighbor's kinze or JD, at least I think so as I walk fields. :-) -Andy

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
