Allan & Paul: Not sure I will be much help, I only gained much knowledge with items that gave trouble. Hydraulic lift on my 400 was trouble free, during my time with it.

Here is what I do know, one hose directly ran to the lift cylinder, the lift side went to that valve then on to lift cylinder and from that valve only one hose went to each row marker The row marker lift cylinders were single action while the planter lift cylinder was double action. And yes Allan is right if wrong marker went down, to correct this you had to lift planter and markers all the way up the re-lower planter. There was a spring loaded device at that valve, it switched markers every lift. To operate this setup my 656 had to be equiped with a check valve at the quick couplers. When I lowered my planter, I would push lever to down position. When planter lift was completely down I pushed lever on to float and the marker would lower. If I happened to push lever to float before planter was completely down, all hydraulic function would stop. Planter would stop lowering and markers would not lower.

I was able to operate this planter on Farmall 300 with tractor hydraulic valve switched to single action.
