Your post is pretty much why I don't think it will work because that is how I understood it too. If it is just adjusting weight on the gauge wheels and you have to run nearly 60 lbs extra lbs of pressure, you are going to create a terrible mess. 60 lbs is nearly 33% of the total down pressure I have been running in notill conditions this year. Our pressure has ranged from 150 lbs to 215 lbs this year depending on soil types and tillage or lack there of. It can not be good to have to run that much extra pressure and create that much extra sidewall compaction which our soils are prone to get if you are not cautious. However, after dpilot's explanation, it sounds a little more feasable. Still think conditions change too rapidly for it to totally keep up, but it may.
