Downforce is the final weight on the gauge wheel. Applied downforce is the work the delta force does to come up with the final downforce. Downforce map shows final avg of 99.1 good, .4 loss, .6 excessive. You can show up to a max 12 ranges, which is what I have it set to so I posted 2 picks so you see the whole range with the most detail possible on Applied DF map. It doesn't show loss of gc, that is only on the Downforce map.

The applied DF map does a better job of explaining how much work is really going on row by row foot by foot.

What difference would it make if you had an 8 row or a 48 row? Any system that doesn't control row by row is going to plant less accurate. Air is less accurate than hydraulics. So if your not running delta, your really not that interested in accuracy to the extent having a pin on every row gives you a better avg than a pin on a few representative rows. Now you can put helper springs on rows by the tractor but that doesn't do anything for you when Soil conditions change as you go over compaction from the previous tillage that is done at some angle or any other changes that you encounter.

Even if you had individual Air adjustment, which you don't, it would not react quick enough to adjust/show crossing old individual wheel tracks, for example. Air would barely start increasing downforce before you crossed both sets of tracks, then it would be too high after you went over the tracks. An air system is just always going to be lagging. The faster you go the worse it gets. He'll, delta can't even keep up in our field conditions above 5 mph
