I thought spoked gauge wheels are standard on pro series openers. Personally I’d always spec a following Harrow, you don’t have to use it all the time if you don’t need it. Flag pin on pro series boot is meant to reduce wear, I can see that it’s very probably true. Again I’d also always have electric metering, if you’re used to mechanical metering you’ll need to learn to ignore the sticker on the hopper an follow the on screen instructions for calibrating.
