Spent some time looking for a means to fix my Herd Seeder today. I've had a constant problem with pushing
the lever (with two holes in it) a bit too hard and in so-doing....unseating a nipple from it's base. This allows all your seed to escape as the nipple comes out and makes too large of hole. Bad news.....and you don't realize it happens until it's too late.
Well.....after looking at the situation......all it took is a positive surface to prevent the lever from over-travel (and thus upsetting the nipple - which you cannot see here). I fixed a C-clamp to the seeders frame and it prevents the lever's over-travel. Solved.
Now.....why does not HERD provide such a means to do this function???o_O Others have complained about this very same situation.....and it's very annoying and seems easy to fix.
Folks brag on this seeder.....it's expensive....and I cannot understand why folks like it. Been a re-building process from the day I got mine. I can re-engineer this stuff.....but with the price I paid, you would think HERD would have done some of this. GRRRRRR
