ROW-PRO DOWN PRESSURE SETUP

The IntelliAg system monitors and adjusts down pressure to ensure the
same amount of force is applied to each row unit to maintain consistent
seed depth placement. The operator sets the desired down pressure into
the IntelliAg virtual terminal and then sets the spring pressure above the
target down pressure.

NOTE: Row-Pro Down Pressure is a

limited automatic adjustment
that works in conjunction
with the down pressure
springs. It does not
independently control the full
range of down pressure.

NOTE: The Row-Pro system is only

compatible with Great Plains
planters.

Down pressure setup can only be accessed in User Level 2 or Level 3
mode.

REQUIREMENTS

The Down Pressure feature is an option available for use with the IntelliAg
system and requires the following components to operate:

OPERATOR’S MANUAL

CONTROL MODE

Down pressure has two control modes:

• Automatic

• Manual

Automatic

When control mode is set to Automatic, down pressure adjusts
automatically during operation based on feedback sensor readings.

Manual

When control mode is set to Manual, down pressure operates at the set
pressure setting and will only change when pressure is adjusted by the
operator on the Main Work screen using the Increase/Decrease buttons.
