East Central Wisconsin | Our 8100 is a three section bar for 16 rows(we don't need the double fold).With the raven i can run 4,8,12 or 16 rows with the three switches on the 440. If you plan on running between the rows i would recommend going with a 17unit applicator.The reason why is if you skip the guess row(15 unit) the ouside row needs to be double to get anough on it(guess row same rate as others) then the next row in is 1 1/2 rate. Or if you put rate and a half on out side unit the guess row is then at 3/4 rate and 1 1/4 on next row.
We have 16 clymer units on our 8100 that i run the 32% 8" on the other side of the row that the planter runs it's 2 X2(15 units of N). The planters 2X2(jd 1770 single disk) is on the outside of the row and the 32%(side dress)is on the inside of the row. This way, i can have all the orifices the same size because each cylmer is feeded ONE row not TWO.The check valve orifice is a 161(ss flat disk) and the out let is a 30. I may go to a 40 on the out let tip this year to help get more of a preasure drop and to help the spatter even more
With the single fold i just need to tap the hyd from time to time to keep the wings in the ground. I have yet to change a bearing in the cylmer after 4 years of use. The injection system is out of the ground,no knifes in ground.I think i can run faster that way if i have too.I run 5-8mph with no problem and could go faster if needed.We use a JD 8000 series tractor with front wheel drive, and i think it is the BEST tractor for the high speeds for seeing the front tires hitting corn
I have two rows that i need a offset because i am 8 " off the row and just tacked them with a weilder to keep them from moving
I have not run it yet this year so i don't know what the preasure is but i like to keep it under 50 psi at 50g/ac.I think the higher th preasure the more it spatters
There are some strong 12volt air compressors systems out there, here are some links

I plan on having a 12 volt solenoid valve on the air tank tank to bleed the lines from tractor cab before folding(DEMA 400 series brass body solenoid)
I use a semi drop deck trailer with three 1500g tanks on it for 32% supply that the coop fills at field.I can do around 35ac per fill (41g/ac corn on bean ground) and 150-200 ac per day on a big day
Hope this helps
