remington 17 - 7/1/2016 14:29 Thinking of trading planters, the one we are looking at comes with active pneumatic down force, an option is hydraulic . Is hydraulic worth the extra cost over air?It has 3 sensors on air unit spread among the row units , or a sensor on every row unit with hydraulic.
Definitely go hydraulic. Air bags have lots of limitations, such as being extremely slow to build pressure.
