Case International 950 Cyclo Planter
A downloadable mod
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!

I love this mod but I have a few things to point out:
(1) The drums don't turn unless the planter is down and moving. There were a few hydraulic drive ones built but they are most commonly chain driven.
(2) The hitch does not have or need a jack.
(3) The wing wheels should be raised when it is in transport and hooked to a tractor, when unhooked they should be down.
One other cool thing would be if you could fold the markers into their "field mode".
Anyways like I said love the mod Im not complaining I just happen to run 3 cyclos on my farm irl.
i cant get it to take fertilizer
Try hitting the z button on key board to open the box lids.
what happens if i use it on a non rowcrop ready map
then it won't work normally.
16 row version?
Doesn't work with CP and AD combined, other than that Great Mod!
I have tried it as well on CP and autodrive will not function correctly. Reloading is the issue.
Do you know how to get it to work?
Howdy! Absolutely love this mod, but I noticed as I'm using it on Westby that the seed usage seems really low. I planted a 60 acre field and it showed i was only at 99% when i started at 100% I have checked for any mod conflicts but nothing checked out on that. I know that it works fine on DJ's UMRV so maybe this is just an issue with the Westby Map??
Mine is just fine, I have to refill it multiple times on my larger field. Probably the map or some other thin
Could you make a 1998 john deere 1760 12 or 8 row corn planter?
Are you going to make smaller models of the Cyclo other than the 900 like the smaller 6 row 400 and so forth
Downloaded this mod a couple days ago, pretty sure from this page, noticed some issues with the dirt map on some decals and noticed that a 1.9HA field only required 7 liters of seed. I uninstalled and reinstalled from the file linked here to be sure, still the same issue.
hey whenever i download this it finishes then vanishes, why? is it not done or just not avalible to public
well done. thank you for sharing the countless hours and hard work that goes into making a mod as well done as this... as well as your other offerings.
Thank you!
Rooster makes some bad ass mods for sure!
sorry not paying for mods!
You don’t have to pay! See where it says: “This mod is free but the developer accepts your support by letting you pay what you think is fair for the mod.”? Click the link that says “No thanks, take me to the download” below it to get it for free!

Hey James, it should be available now! Thank you!
