Sorry about no info on the planter. I use 4 John Deere planters mounted on a draw bar. They're older than dirt. Each has a seed bin and changeable, rotating plates in the bottom of the bin. The number and spacing of notches on a plate determines plant spacing. Plant spacing can also be changed with drive chains and sprockets.

You don't
say what kind of planter your are using. In the past, I
think you have said it is a cotton/corn/grain tractor mounted planter?
Something suitable for planting many acres of large seed?
I believe most folks here are using Earthway or Glazer hand
pushed/pulled planters that are suitable for planting relatively small
areas with small seed. These planters need smooth and level beds.
How do you plant lettuce, carrot, broccoli, mustard, onion, etc?
