After reading this thread they are still under the impression that planting in "float" is the way to go.
I feel that if you plant in float that the up pressure from the openers penetrating the ground could cause the cylinder to extend since it is in float and disengage the clutch. They still wont agree that the springs are the adjustment for the down pressure and that the cylinder created the pressure, and the springs adjust how much down pressure is created.
I am running out of ways to explain this to them. It seems so simple to me to see that if planting in float, there will be no down pressure because the resistance from the openers penetrating the ground will not allow any down pressure to be created. The cylinder must be all the way retracted or almost retracted, and "fixed" not in float. It seems to me that the clutch could defiantly disengage if the cylinder is in float and extends outward.
