Sheldon, IA
What is the seed release index going to show you that is so special? I am not sure what that index even is a measure of, let us know please.

The FMX will show you singulation, spacing, doubles, and skips by row. Any good PA dealer can help you hook an FMX to any clutch on the market. Just because they don't make an adapter doesn't mean someone else hasn't done it or that it can't be done. For flexibility the FMX is going to be a better option for you. With the FMX you get a monitor and GPS unit all in one that can control your planter, sprayer, strip till unit, tile plow, scraper, vehicle steering, implement steering, and can accept camera inputs. It can even do Yield on a few machines. The 20/20 is still just a planter monitor that has to have a GPS added to it to work. Give Trimble a year or so and you will probably see down pressure control added. The more requests they get for it the quicker it will happen, that goes for all features that we would like added. The FMX can also read factory downpressure systems right now along with bin level sensors, VAC or blower pressure, and run hydraulic drives (factory or add-ons).
