1. He used CIH 1200 series seed tubes and had to widen the top hole in the row unit to get them to fit down into the row unit.
2. The seed meter is slightly closer to the ground on a White, but not much. I would have to stretch a tape to tell you for sure.
3. Seed spacing was excellent.
4. Bounce did not seem to be an issue since the firming point puts a nice sharp "V" in the bottom of the trench.
5. All fabrication was done in his shop.
6. It's roughly 5' to the top of the box. Need to get my tape out to tell you for sure. Dumping bags is a little more work.
7. It took all winter right up until planting time.
8. Yes, he used the long and short parallel linkage arms. The units are 950's off of a 5400 soybean special drill.
9. I don't think so, patents are expensive and complicated to get and who knows if it will be popular enough to turn a profit.
10. He used the IH red.
