soil type, condition, and desired finish.
Finger wheel (STANDARD)

Each row is equipped with a pneumatic air bag to control the closing wheel pressure on the unit.
The closing pressure can be controlled via the supplied box from the tractor cab, or manually with
the fitted schrader valves. See section 6.3.1 and section 6.3.2 for how to adjust the system.
The recommended working range is between 1 and 8 Bar of pressure. 8 Bar is the maximum
pressure for this system. All rows operate at the same pressure when cab controls are fitted.
