Planter Monitor

Rich.Fl · Oct 7, 2018

I have an old JD Flex 72 planter I use for planting peanuts. I would like to add a basic seed monitor.

I am not very knowledgeable but have looked around a bit.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks!

Made a typing mistake...most will recognize should be "JD Flex 71."

Here is a thread from 2009 on another ag forum that talks about it some.

It appears your problem will be fitting a seed drop monitor in each seed tube. Half say you can?t, the other half say you can make it work.

As the 71 unit planters are still made today by Yetter, you might need to know how old your units are, they have been in production for over a
half a century, started with steel cans, now fiberglass, I bet the seed tube has changed some over the years as well.
