Our 1200 has 5 seasons on it. Freisen bar, and we bought the central fill through parts two years later and put er together. Neighbor has a36-22 inch planter they put together on a bauer bar, with a pair of hoppers on each wing,,,,,,thats 140 bushels of seed to carry, they also put a 750 gallon tank for fert in the middle. Bauer makes a heck of a bar. One of these guys has a fluid power degree......Their planter is probly just as old as ours, and looks real nice.
HAven't been hearing allot of positive talk about the electronics on the 1250.......Also heard there was a production problem this past year where the meters aren't lining up very well sitting on the seed boot, causing poor spacing...........ish!
Good luck
