Seems like every year while out in the field I have a couple seed tube sensors either on my John Deere or Kinze finger planters that need replacing. Most generally this is out in the field. I have the Schaffert rebounders (orange colored) now and they just strap to the seed tube. I just take the hopper off and pull the seed tube out and make the needed repairs. The Schaffert's really do not cause any major difficulty. A few weeks ago I bought a set of Keeton seed firmers. They probably are the most common of seed firmers. Opened the box and read the instructions. They want the seed tube with the firmer radiator clamped to the center scraper in between the double disk openers. To make repairs I would have to remove a gauge wheel, then remove one of the disk openers just to get into the scraper to undo the radiator clamp that holds the seed tube/sensor. I think I read that the Keetons apply more pressure and therefore more drag which might cause the seed tube to shake and cause the seeds to bounce inside on the way down if it wasn't attached. CAN I JUST ATTACH THE KEETONS TO THE SEED TUBE AND NOT THE INSIDE SCRAPPER????? If I can't I might just stay with the Schaffert's for the simple fact I can make quick field repairs. Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
