People don't realize a precision instrument needs to be treated as such. A good friend of mine has a 12 row finger planter he bought in 1982 and has run somewhere around 350 acres of corn through it besides the beans every year. Each year when he is done planting he takes the units off the boxes, removes the covers and blows them out thoroughly. Then he sprays them with fluid film and stores them away in a dry place. Next spring he removes the covers again and wipes out the fluid film. When he has them run by the dealer each spring the dealer usually doesn't have to do any repairs to them, testament to how well a machine can operate when taken care of.
A few years ago I saw a farmer's finger units in a pile just inside the machine shed door where they could get rained on and I know the door is open year round. Uffda!!!!!
