I think the maintenance issues are simpler and more can be done on a preventative basis on a Deere mechanical seed meter system than the cyclo. Issues that you are not used to with the cyclo will be maintaining proper air pressure to seed variety and bounce of seed in the tubes from the drum to the row units. I also think the Deere closing wheel set-up is better. When we had our cyclo we had problems with the drum sealing properly to the manifold housing. My opinion is the Deere performed better on seed placement and germination than the Cyclo. We did not have a 900 series planter, however. Deere has more choices for fertilizer opener assemblies. Having said all that I think just about any color planter made in the last 25 years is fairly reliable on a daily basis. If you are wanting to go to an air system I would look at a White. If you want a vacuum I would look at the Deere then the CaseIH 1200 series. Again, with any color unit it is all about the preventative maintenance.
