I got an email back from Befco. Included was Operator Manual, Parts Manual and answer to all my questions. Nice people to deal with. Yes there is a Green Rite II, Yes it has 2 hoppers. Front one is fertilizer, Rear is seed. Originally it had a PTO driven rotor with straight knives to dethatch. Mine has a leaf spring mounted disk section for openers. Best guess is the gear box tossed its cookies and the state modified it to a disk openers.
On a separate note I've just cut wheat for hay so the season begins. Be safe out there

My wheat looks good but is only 2 - 3 inches high. Planting corn here would be a waste of seed for another couple weeks.

Mine was sowed in early Jan and was 8 to 12" tall and just starting to boot. Some of the field isn't as far along and I'm letting it grow a bit more. We will see what it yields. Any bales are more than I have now so its all good. Hope this is a better hay year but we will take what nature gives us. Later
