Hi Paul,

The reason that 400 system and the bigger 500's 'dual lift' used the "shuttle" valve is because most farm tractors at the time only had two sets of remotes. One was used to lift the planter and that only left the one other remote to handle both markers. Hence, we need a different system with a "swap stick" and they were plumbed into the lift cylinder's circuit. :>)

Now, I gotta tell ya, I don't like the idea of a two way cylinder out there on the marker unless you've got it rigged some way to mechanically "float". If not, the marker is going to be forced into the soil with a chance of bending something, don't ya think? That thing needs to hop and bounce along.

Anyway, I like the way the little 500s handled the markers: One single acting cylinder on each out port of each remote. Slickern' a rooster with a sock on. One lever for each marker and no down pressure. :>)
