1. A row unit for a seeding machine, the row unit comprising:
- a frame;
a first gauge wheel arm pivotally coupled to the frame;
a first gauge wheel coupled to the first gauge wheel arm;
a second gauge wheel arm pivotally coupled to the frame;
a second gauge wheel coupled to the second gauge wheel arm; and
a position sensor assembly having a position sensor at least partially disposed between the first gauge wheel arm and the second gauge wheel arm such that the position sensor is at least partially concealed from view between the first and second gauge wheels when viewing the row unit along an axis of rotation of the first gauge wheel.
