There has been quite a few calls lately about air clutch systems, so I thought I would try and give some tips about the systems to clear things up a bit.
Below are the maintenance recommendations from the Manufacturer.
Maintenance of Tru Count Air Clutch System
Air Compressor Water resistant, Not waterproof. Keep in dry location during winter storage. Clean dirt from fins. Replace or clean filter element on a regular basis.
Drain tank on a regular basis. Drain tank before winter storage, close drain after draining moisture.
Valve Modules
Keep away from high pressure water.
Air Clutches
All Tru Count clutches come from the factory prelubricated. Use dry silicone spray included in the kit. Lube as needed or every 75 - 100 hours.
Symptoms of needing lubricated are: Clutch not clutching (continuous planting) Clutch slow to release (resume planting after being shut off)
Oil air cylinders at the end of every season to keep pistons lubricated. Use the oil packet included in the kit and oil cylinders with one drop each. Then activate clutches a few times before putting planter into storage. Keep away from high pressure water.

Catching up on my blog
So, I realized something today - it has been quite a while since I have posted anything to my blog. Spring has been very good so far, but extremely busy and I haven't taken the time to write or update anything on my blog. With the recent rain, I have had a brief chance to "catch my breath", and decided that I didn't have any more excuses not to write something here. There has been quite a few things happen this spring, so I will break it down into a few sections and make a few posts over the next few days.
One thing I wanted to hit on today was a new website I stumbled across. The address is www.justanswer.com This website allows you to ask professionals questions in many different industries. You log in and post your question, as well as what you are willing to pay for an answer. For legal, mechanical, or medical questions, this could be a huge savings over seeing a professional in person. Several questions were posted and answered for around $15.00. This seemed pretty fair to me, as it does take time to share answers to the posts for someone with the knowledge. I would like to know your thoughts on this website - please respond with comments and let me know if you think this is a good way to seek help or not.
