I'll try to get a pic of them. I guess with GAS you cant have a flow indicator. I guess thats a bonus to liquid. We had a row plugged on our planter 4 years ago. The day we combined the corn, you could still tell the row that didnt get any starter. Since then we've had flow indicators on both the planter and side dress machine.

Donald, we have a 23 shank bar. The middle 13 rows have 3/8" lines. The next four on each side of the 13 have 1/2" line. The outside 2 rows have 5/8" line. We did it this way to combat pressure loss. According to my calculations, the most psi drop I should have on any given row is 3 psi. There are 5 sections, the center 3 sections are 5 rows each, and the outer two sections are 4 rows.
