Second year planting with Covington single row planter. First year had issue with seed box binding and flipping up dumping out seed. Put a rubber strap around it and now doesn’t flip up. Having some issues with press/drive wheel sliding and not turning. Seemed to be related to binding in seed box. This year used strap again and was able to walk alongside and watch seeds better. Noticed seed plate picking up seed but not consistently dropping them in seed tube. Was able to lift back of seed box creating more forward tilt and saw much less seed drop misses.

What am I missing? Is there some adjustment I am missing on seed box that allows it to tilt forward more? Why is seed box binding and wanting to flip and dump? I don’t see any others on the many videos out having this issue.
