I know this doesn't pertain to the older tractors, but need some advice on a non-antique. I traded my old 8 row 7000 JD planter in on a 12 row 7300 JD planter. I am using a JD 8100 w/fwa to pull it. I have 3 SCV's on this tractor. Since this is a mounted planter, I need, in addition to the 3 point lift, hydraulics for (a)lift assist, (b) markers, (c) folding, and (d) the vac motor. My question is- which is a better way to run the lift assist wheels? My choices, as far as I know, are: (1) use one of the SCV's and dedicate it to lift assist, or (2) plumb a coupler into the 3 point circuit so that when I lift the 3 point the lift assist will activate with the 3 point. If I dedicate an SCV to lift assist, dedicate an SCV for the vac motor, I would probably have to use the remaining SCV for folding and markers, switching as needed. If I hook the lift assist with 3 point, I assume that the 3 point will have priority over the lift assist- front raising before the back when lifting, and front lowering before the back when lowering. Right? Wrong?
I'd appreciate knowing how you did yours and any pointers. Thanks, old bones
btw- I've pretty much been away from the old 'puter for a year or 2. Too much going on. Didn't there used to be a forum for "Modern Tractors"? I could very well be wrong, but I thought I saw that a few years ago.
