Thought my monitor was off, seemed like I was putting down too much seed, when I finished the 95 day. Tires were up to spec a couple weeks ago, never have been low. Shooting for 26,100, ended up(if bags actually have 80,000)putting down 29,000 per acre. Not sure if I like that number on my lightrer soil. Now that will have to be a daily check as well.
 
And planter tires are a kind of a pain to check. The other day I ran over to the wet 60 (2 miles)to plant 1/4 acre of a mudhole I didn't want to go through three days before. Went over there and unfolded the planter, unlocked the markers, etc., planted one very short round, folded back up and went home. All tires were up when I folded back up. Had a flat when I got home. Trash whipper had tossed a rock into the wheel and it damaged the stem. Tire's sidewall doesn't look so good but I threw a new tube in and put it back on. It's a 7.60X15 Jim
 
Don"t know what planter you have, but my 7000 has extremely short valve stems- stick up maybe half an inch.
 
Never mind, I thought about it and a smaller tire would have to turn more rpm's to go the same distance as a larger hence the higher population.
