[QUOTE="Alistair Nelson, post: 8924927, member: 234"] Sadly they are talking total and utter bull**** and don't let them off the hook that easily. Having run front tanks for 20+ years accord based and run a pressurised horsch system tank for the last 4, and sold in a previous life no end of front tanks. A pressurised hopper arrangement once properly sealed is night and day better than an old style venturi system as you can generate greater air pressure in the transfer pipes You need a lot more lead than you think though both turning on and off abit like shooting high partridges. is the signal for on and off coming off the rear linkage up and down or off the GPS? put some wheat in and go and have a play and open the rear window slightly and listen for the rattle of the grain both as you drop in and as you lift up and you'll be amazed how long in time it takes to start rattling into the head or stop rattling. Once the tank etc are all sealed and the fan is running smoothly and consistently it's not an air thing to get going. once your properly sealed you only run into problems when wanting to put high rates of seed on at fast speed and eventually you run out of air as the seed to air pressure ratio gets too high. The only other limiting air factor is if you can't get rid of the air at the coulter generating back pressure are the outlet is buried in the ground but this would be highly unlikely drilling rape! if you think its an issue get some of those rubber exhaust socks that claydon and weaving use just above there coulters. Hope some of this makes sense Alistair [/QUOTE]
