Claim 22:
23. A method, comprising steps of:
introducing a lower planting arm vertically below a set of upper planting arms of a row unit;
aligning at least one opening defined in the lower planting arm with at least one aperture defined in a mounting plate of the row unit;
aligning at least another opening defined in the lower planting arm with at least one through-hole defined in a head frame of the row unit;
pivotally engaging the lower planting arm and the mounting plate with one another, via at least one attachment assembly, via the at least one opening and the at least one aperture;
pivotally engaging the lower planting arm and the head frame with one another, via at least another attachment assembly, at the at least another opening and the at least one through-hole;
selectively engaging an actuating device with the lower planting arm via one of a first mount of a first bracket of the lower planting arm and a second mount of a second bracket of the lower planting arm; wherein the first bracket and the second bracket operably engages with the at least one linkage arm;
positioning a piston rod of the actuating device between a first extension of the first mount and a second extension of the first mount;
introducing a retaining pin of the actuating device to a first hole defined in the first extension;
introducing the retaining pin of the actuating device to a second hole defined in the second extension; and
securing the piston rod with the first extension and the second extension via the retaining pin.
