Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | If you are not too concerned about some overlap at times, running with a hydraulic motor for each "half" should work for you. You would have the ability to manually shut off "half" the planter for those situations that you might feel are worthwhile such as a last pass etc. You would not need a Clutch Module for that arrangement.
A Clutch Control Module would be required if you want the system to shut on/off planting units for you automatically.
I just wanted to be certain that you were aware of the fact that the hydraulic drives do not go on/off automatically based on a planting map as one might assume. They start/stop based on the switch box and an implement switch. That means that with both a Clutch Control Module and a Hydraulic Drive Module, the Clutch Control Module would shut off row units progressively for point rows but the drive for that "half" would continue to turn even if all units on that half were cycled OFF by the Clutch Control Module. The hydraulic drives would stop when the planter is raised at the Headland. When the planter is lowered for the return path, both motors would start to turn and the Clutch module would engage the row units based on the planting map as you encounter areas that have not been planted.
