Subject: Possible alternative to Tru-Count or Row Command...


SCMN
Im looking at planter section control for next year.  We won't be buying a new planter so Row Command won't be an option.  I priced air clutches from Tru-Count and it'll be about 6K for what I want to do.  We run a JD 1770NT 16R30 with shaft/chain drive.  What's stopping me from buying some inexpensive valves that I could plumb into the vacuum line at each row unit and just shut off the vacuum to the seed disk?  I could then use EZ Boom or Swath Control to control them after a bit of wiring.  Has anyones done something like this?  I don't know why it wouldn't work.  Any thoughts?
