The Cyclo planters were a series developed and first produced by International Harvester in the 80s, and was produced by Case International into the 90s. The technology is based on pressurizing the steel drums on the units. These steel drums are covered with little slots that have a hole in them. Air tries to escape through the holes, and by doing so pushes seeds into the slots. The seeds are then lifted up by the spinning drum, and released by a rubber wheel that blocks the holes and stops the air holding down the seeds from flowing . The seeds are then dropped into hoses that carry them to the planting units. The Cyclo series was not without flaws, but it was a pioneer in center fill planting technology.
I have converted this mod from 19 and made multiple improvements. I don’t think it’s perfect, but its much better than it has been. Credit of course to all the people that have worked on this before me: Oldiron1214, adub modding, and Steenkamp Modding. Also thanks to WadeMitch and JCL for the video and graphics. Please enjoy!
