I run mine with a PTO pump offered by Deere for tractors that don't have enough hydraulic oomph. The tractor I use is a IH 1086. I used to have a 7000 Deere planter and it did an excellent job as long as I kept the speed in the 4 1/2-5 MPH range. Like JD said, the finger units have to be kept in top shape. Planting speed has to be kept down but that goes for any planter, in my opinion. My neighbor has a 7000 finger that he bought new in 82. He treats the units like pampered babies, 'putting them to bed' properly at the end of the season and preparing them properly at the beginning of the season. He plants at 4 1/2 MPH. His stand is always the envy of the neighborhood, though some won't admit it. My opinion of the precision units for the vac planters is it helps the vac planter place the seed like a good finger planter always did. Will the perfect spacing make me money? I don't know, but it sure looks nice from the road. Hope mother nature can help that good looking corn of yours along for the rest of the season. Jim
