[QUOTE="Alistair Nelson, post: 8925413, member: 234"] Good idea with a smoke test because if it isn't sealed well your buggered also if there isn't enough or too much air pushing the grain out the tank your also buggered so it is a balancing act and how much air is required in the tank for a front tank rig with the longer transfer therefore greater back pressure will be different to the same width trailed machine. and this lack of outlets due to banding at the end of the line compared to a conventional coulter arrangement again won't be helping. I'm not familiar with the auger metering on the sumo compared to the more conventional rotor you don't think some seed is sliding back down the auger whilst its stopped and your turning round do you meaning that every time you start off the auger has to reprime itself if that makes sense all adding to the lag. even if only half a sencond but they all add up to creat a few meters of missed drilling Don't worry I am sure the sequence is quick and consistent but it takes time even with a sealed system which is faster for the seed to get from one end to the other you can speed it up by making the outlets better but you still need that period of time as I say abit like shooting partridges and so from pressing the sequence button to the linkage going down and seed arriving at the coulter bottom as I say just have a play with there back or side window open and you will here the rattle of the seed. How much overrun are you getting at the outward headland turns. [/QUOTE]
