Who would have thought 10 years ago that planters would be the reason we need so many SCV's? Here's what I know: plumbing with the three-point isn't highly recommended by Deere; can be done, but they don't like to do it. So that leaves adding a 4th SCV, adding power beyond to run the vac, or adding a PTO pump. The PTO pump will work fine, but you have to keep the RPM's up in PTO range to have constant hydraulic flow to keep the vac pressure the same at all times, which is HIGHLY important. Your operation may be different, but we don't need to have our tractors revved up that high (RPM's) to plant, and I wouldn't think you should either to pull a 12 row with an 8100. So we're down to the 4th SCV or power beyond. Given these are about "equal" performance-wise, the power beyond is less expensive. If you don't need the 4th SCV for anything else, I'd go with the power beyond. If you think you many need it for a sprayer or blade or loader or whatever in the future, I'd get the 4th SCV. Sorry for the long post. Hope that helps answer your question. Josh
