They don't like hills.

Around this part of Minnesota, the 400 & 500 series of planters about killed IH. You saw a _lot_ of red tractors pulling green planters for several decades around here. The 400/500 series sell at farm auctions for $300 or less. They just are not liked - at all.

Nowadays, you see a lot of green tractors pulling red planters - the 1200 series planter is finally a good solid product again - liked more than the new air planters from JD.

I would not ever pay that much for a 400/500 IH planter. They were a cool new design, but pretty light, and had a few hiccups, and didn't plant corn very evenly.

An 800/900 is an ok red planter, would go for that.
