That’s always been a difference between IH and Deere planters.
IH were really popular with heavy ground soybean farms in the Delta back in the day. The IH offset closing disks would close better when the heavy clay dried out and started turning to concrete. Twin row Great Plains planters with heavy cast V wheels have taken their place on a lot of those farms.

The advantage I feel that Case units have over John Deere units is the the offset opening disks not closing wheels. Also having pulling or trailing gauge wheels as opposed to pushing the gauge wheels save a lot of wear on the gauge wheel pivot points. Deere and aftermarket companies have tried tons of different ways to minimize this wear. We have recently installed Norseman gauge wheel arms on our Deere planters. They have a bearing at the pivot. The Case Ih planter we run is just now showing wear at the gauge wheel pivot and it is over 20 years old.
