| I see. That's some good information. I didn't realize you had built your own bar and were using white seed meters. For us to build up an essentially stock 1770 24R I don't think we could come up with the room for mounting the motor on the side of the seed meter. Maybe if one were to buy a CCS planter with the small little quart boxes it would be possible to do this but with a planter that has 3 bu John Deere boxes, I can't imagine how I would go about mounting a motor and hoses in an area that would allow direct coupling to the seed meter.
Through this discussion I am realizing that there is yet another reduction that occurs with the chain that goes from the shaft which drives the seed meter to the seed meter itself. I believe the sprocket on the shaft is smaller than the sprocket that is on the seed meter. I will have to re-calculate based on this information. Anyways, like I mentioned earlier, doing one motor on each row is more a theoretical analysis for me than something I am interested in attempting. I would probably do no more than 7 motors including the motor that would be used for a speed sensor on a 24 row planter. | |
