Abstract

An agricultural particulate delivery system includes a tank operable to contain particulate, a metering structure including a metering element operable to regulate flow of particulate from the tank, and a collector assembly configured to receive particulate from the metering structure. The collector assembly directs particulate into a particulate-transporting line configured to deliver particulate toward an implement. The system also includes a sensor located between the metering element and the particulate-transporting line and that is configured to detect particulate flow from the metering element to the particulate-transporting line.
