Hi Allan
Thanks for taking the time for me.
It looks like the 500 is a three point planter, so there is a remote
available for each marker, right? That would be a luxury! This is
a no-till drill and it already uses two hydraulic remotes. The
tractors I want to use with it only have two remotes. So my idea
was to plumb it into the lift/lower circuit. The lift /lower
cylinders are two way so I thought that if I just used one ways on
the markers, they wouldn't go down easily because of all the
fluid coming back on the return from the lift/lower cyls., just
like captaink said. I did make a way for the markers to float.
They probably have two feet or more of float travel. You're right,
I wouldn't want to spend all that time making them just to make
metal pretzels!
I am going to operate the switch with two opposing starter
solenoids so I choose the marker from the cab with switches. I
think the 800 and later Cyclos had something like that.
I might be making this more complicated than it needs to be,
but these things usually get that way. Maybe I could post some
pics when they're done if I can figure out how. ( That seems to
be an ongoing problem for folks). Would you happen to know if I
have the valve figured out correctly?
Thanks for your input!
Paul
