Leesburg, Ohio | Chad: It appears to me that you have the no-til coulter buried. Is there a reason for that? The rule of thumb on coulters is run them just a bit shallower than seed depth, and let the seed openers do the final bottom for consistent depth. There should be some adjustment for the coulter relative to the unit depth. I would agree with the prior post regarding row cleaners...run them at the surface so they are just brushing aside surface trash and large clods...they shouldn't even be turning all the time. Maybe it's because I don't know your soils and local needs, but I don't like to plant in a furrow. To avoid that, I took all the down pressure off my units in conventional/min-till, and only apply the first notch of down pressure on no-til. This might not work for you...just my .02 FWIW.
