Yes, we already have the Airforce setup on the planter, so it would tie in well to that.

When you are running lift pressure so that the cleaners are just barely skimming the ground, do you find that all of the rows adjust evenly? This is a 24 row planter, so I am wondering if all rows would skim evenly or if some would raise higher than others if they are set very lightly.

I have played with them on the PP demo stand several times. It often seems that as I am gradually applying lift pressure, they will continue to stay in one spot as I slowly turn the dial, and then all of a sudden they will jump up to the fully raised position. Some PP folks have told me that it due to the paint not being worn off the pivot points on the demo model. They claim that once the paint is shined off the pivot points they will operate more smoothly.

Thoughts?
