One of the seed tube sencers was acting up all day and I had to listen to that whistle on and off for 14 hours today. The dealer was open for parts today but he was all out. Have
you got one at one of the other stores? Nope, all out. GAHH.

Try any of the foam earplugs? They do the trick when I want to quiet loud noises from machinery, traffic, etc.

I wear stihl head muffs with the radio love em💖

Why are you not wearing hearing protection while running your machine ? Would you like to have 'Ringing' in your ears for the rest of your life (all the time- every day) like me ? - 40 + years of skil-saws and such) Sometimes it's LOUD, sometimes not so much, if there is background music or babies crying the syndrome is lessens. For gosh sakes everyone use 'ear mints' or muffs !!!

I always hated that about drilling with the case IH 8500 air drills they always had a seed tube sensor or sensors either fouled up or one was actually plugged and if you thought that was bad drilling Alalfa would about make your head explode because the seed was to small for the sensor to sense that anything was going down the tube it?s bad when running a cab tractor is noisier than an open air tractor because of all the monitors squawking at you

I wrapped the buzzer with electrical tape on mine.

Yea, my #4 is all mixed up, it reads between 500 and 152,000 seed drop per acre, most of the time low, dang monitor just howls at me.

So I'm not the only one that sees rain coming and just keeps driving?

I can't imagine the new machinery, with the miles of wires and sensors, how anyone can run those longer than the lease lasts, too much wire to sort through on the new stuff.

I need to get a new harness for next year, rather than Chase endless gremlins on my simple setup on the 7000.

That sounds like a good part to keep one or two spares on hand.

OMG, Mr. Harvey. I too have that ringing. It's the same sound that seven 20" DeWalt radial arms saws make when they're ALL running at the same time. From 1966 to 1973 I operated a 'gang' apparatus, one of only two in the United States that cut hip and valley jack rafters. I never thought about the damage to my hearing I was causing; kind of like 'asbestos' or sunburn; won't notice a problem until years have passed.

If you unplug the sensor, would it stop? Can you shut the alarm off? I had a monitor quit and I would just check at the end of the field every turn and turn the wheel by hand to see if seed was dropping from every row.

Bob H., I know your right but I was on a farm 4 miles from home with no transportation. No plugs laying in tractor and in to much of a hurry to drive tractor back home to get some. The lesson I learned here is to take time to take care your health. I will need my hearing long after I need to plant corn. Thank you for your sound advice (pun intended)

I"ve had 3 7000s, one on an open station, two on cab tractors. Each monitor I pressed duct seal into the buzzer...end of problem. No need for buzzers since the lights are right in front of me. Hey, chewing gum would work too.
