Hello everyone. New to the forum. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with John Deere 1240 plateless planters. I have had one for a few years. We used it for corn but replaced it with an IH cyclo 800. I recently sold my big tractor and will have to use the 1240 again. I am looking to plant corn and beans with it and am wondering how to switch between corn and beans.
 
At the bottom of each seed hopper there's a circular plate. If you look close you'll notice one position is labeled corn, one beans, and one off. It basically just opens a different hole in the hopper, dumping the seed either in the corn meter or bean cup.
 
Thank you! Do I need to take the seed hoppers off to change this setting or does it just turn with the hopper on
