Even splitting seems like a bad way for JD to handle this as two tank carts are a 40/60 split.

I named the same prescription differently. Like
FTSORBOUREA for Front Tank, Sorbo, Urea
BTSORBOUREA for Back Tank, Sorbo, Urea.

Used Map math to make 40/60 Split. Operator Happy.

We screwed up on our first field because we were running both bins with the same product.

The actual rates showed the full rates on each bin, so we then set the scaling factor for each bin to 50%. This made it so when we had a map rate of 200 lbs that we had 100 coming from each bin.

WRONG ANSWER!

When the GS2 sees the same product in multiple bins assigned to the same map, it automatically splits it, even though there is no indication on the display, it is being done. If you turn off one of the bins, the other one will double in speed.
