I’ve definitely learned that taking a moment to check the row unit depth can save you from a lot of trouble later on.
What’s your favorite way to ensure everything’s perfectly set before you head out to the field?
 
I rely on a mix of a depth gauge and visual checks. Just ensure everything is even, and you’re all set. Spending a few minutes now can really save you a lot of headaches when it’s time to plant!
 
I’ve come to appreciate the feel method just check the depth by hand and compare it with your preset gauge. It might be old-school, but it definitely gets the job done. Plus, it’s way quicker than constantly checking those digital readouts.
 
I’m all about using a tape measure and level it's quick, straightforward, and super accurate. Just a little pre-check before heading out can save you tons of time and hassle later
