986 is right about the bouncing planter units. Bounce really does reduce yield even if we can't feel it in the cab. I got a good education on it this fall. I have a Precision monitor on my Deere 7200 planter. When we installed the monitor and other Precision parts we installed these little torsion bars in the row units that measure the smoothness of the ride, or how much the units are bouncing. All of this is being recorded on an Ipad as I plant. This fall while I was riding in the grain cart tractor in corn I was looking at the evenness of the stand and noticed a stretch of corn that had some small scrawny stalks mixed with the good stalks. I had the Ipad that was used in the planter tractor along with me so I got into Fieldview on the Ipad and looked at the 'smoothness of ride' that was recorded in that location and found the monitor had recorded a rough ride. The scrawny stalks were from seeds planted too shallow when the units bounced up. If I would have been attentive and was watching the monitor closer while planting I would have slowed down in that area.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
