Probably said this here before: Used to see about the same # of JD 494 & IH 56 planters around here. Then saw like 8 out of 10 (conservatively) planting with JD 7000 type compared to the 400 cyclo - think I have only seen 1 500 series around here; the 400's left such a bad impression! Then perhaps 6 of 10 JD 7200 compared to the 800/900 IH/Case series. Now with the 1200 cyclos, I see 8 out of 10 of those compared to whatever JD is currently making for new machines going. Most popular planter around here is still JD 7000 - 7200. But those newest Case Cyclos are finally making inroads for those buying new. It's been a long, long time for the red planting machines to be popular again. My neighbor bought a 1200 series last year. Looks like a good machine & he likes it - now. Took him 2 weeks to get it working tho, I about had my corn done & he hadn't gotten 3 acres in & ended up with better yields with my little old 7000. Was just a set up & get things going deal for him, but sure was a struggle for him to make it work that first year. I'm not into color wars, like to use a machine that makes money, I've got all colors of stuff around here. :) --->Paul

It was considered a pretty nice outfit for their 70 acre central Indiana grain and livestock farm. Dad spent several years during the war testing aircraft engines at Allison Engineering in Indianapolis working seven days a week on a twelve hour night sh
