We had two. The biggest problem was getting the seed spacing to work at shallow depths that some need/want to plant at. Seed would bounce out of the trench. We had Accu plant? points on ours and planted sort of on the deep side, close to two inches. We had liquid fertilizer with a squeeze pump for starter. Didn't really need it on our ground but did it anyway. Put it right in with the seed. Did not burn at the level we used. Two 60 gallon tanks and under certain conditions could get over 25 acres planted in one fill. The planter could plant rocks if the were small enough as the planter did not care so seed grade was not important. Always had to make sure you were going forward or you could plug the opener up with the fertilizer. First one had a simple monitor, second had the whistles that would make noise above the planter noise. Planter had some noise from the blower. We kept ours out of the sunlight in storage as the seed tank would fail-had to hold enough air pressure to work. We pulled a 400 4 row wide with 120 gallons of fertilizer for many years with a 460 gas between two to three hundred acres a year. Needed more head land so the PTO would not chatter on turns because you did not want to shut it off. You need the PTO on all the time as when off the seed would fall off the drum and you would need to prime it again or you would have gaps. You needed to maintain lubrication and the gasket where the drum touches the body or you lost air pressure and possibly seed. We planted in third with the 460 at PTO speed rpms, so it was fairly fast. You also needed to maintain speed as changes would get different spacing. Seed hopper held a lot 9-10 bags if I remember and it was one fill spot. Easy to change spacing setting. Very little to do to switch from corn to beans Drum, and settings and tie the brush up if I remember correctly. The biggest thing was getting the seed to stay in the ground.
