What are the advantages for either cornplanter, like dependable, maintance, acruancy, and the disadvantages of either one. Am looking at either one of the aboce, they are both only 3 years old.

depends on what you are doing with them. for most guys in corn- bean country,the finger pickup is hard to beat. yes it needs set up in a good shop but after that it will be very forgiving will plant several different sizes of seed( in different boxes) and do a good job. for beans go to a radial bean meter. The vacuum is great if you are planting many different crops corn,oil sunflowers, confection sunflower, beats ,cotton ,soybeans ,dry beans etc. etc..however close attention has to be paid to seed size(no mixing in boxes or adjacent boxes)vacuum level speed and humidity----- ----Paul

I'm not a planter guru by any means, but both will work well when in good shape and properly adjusted and operated. With finger-pickups, you don't have to have an SCV or power-beyond coupler tied up with operating the vacuum fan orbit motor, so if you're pulling it with a tractor with limited hydraulic hookups or capacity, that may be the way to go. However, vacuum metering units have fewer moving parts and fewer chances for something to go wrong. There is a mix of both around here, and most guys seem to be happy with what they have.
