No I have not, they are suppose to be just like the old Planet Jr planters. I have modified my Earthway for corn by putting duct tape over every other hole on the plate. I learned this on a tractor forum and it helps spread out the seed better. Since I use organic methods, I do not plant the corn with fertilizer in the row but do side dress and foliar feed it.

I have two very old Planet Jr wheel hoes and Hoss Tools in GA http://store.hosstools.com/ Their parts fit perfectly. I use them for corn and other row crops. They have a scuffle hoe attachment that is far superior to the Swiss made ones sold by Johnny's seeds. Made in the USA to a proven pattern, the new stuff is as good as the old ones made here and in France (I think).
