Chad-don't you get an excessive amount of bounce going that fast? In some of our tests we found that even when the meter was dropping exactly perfect that going that fast caused the seed to bounce and mess up spacing and depth was inconsistant. From the studies I've seen uniform depth is more important than spacing. I guess if the field is smooth and soft it could work.
We run a max of 4.5mph.
Stands from the new CIH planter-how does the spacing look?
