Correct. Electric drive takes the place of ground drive and spins the drum, hydraulics run the fans. They are positive pressure not vac. The seed wheels on outside of drum make the seeds fall into the delivery tubes. The modules actually use quite a bit of hydraulics, I would say 7 gpm available PER module fan MINIMUM. 10 would be better, especially on corn. That might change your thinking on the 3 vs 4 module design, running all the fans might be too much for most planter tractors, or you would have to set up a big pto pump.

I have a 3 module 24r22". I love it for beans I can actually control the populations and have some spacing control vs. the air drill which was a controlled spill and seemed to put the beans in clusters. I have a 21 gpm pump dedicated to the fans and I would love to have more. If you end up getting the one setup with ag leader and electric drives get the seed tube monitor module from ag leader and throw away the early riser monitor.
