PLANTER LIFT SYSTEM
Planter lift system consists of one lift cylinder located at center of machine. Cylinder mounts are located front and
rear side of center post. Install cylinder in rear position for planters with rear mounted row units only. Cylinder must be
installed in front position for planters with front mounted options (push row units, fertilizer, etc.). A stroke limiter valve
shuts off hydraulic flow when the planter lifts to raised field position and contacts safety/stroke limiter pin. A counter
balance valve holds planter in position until reverse pressure is applied.
NOTE: Planter lift cylinder is equipped with a counter balance valve. Hydraulic pressure is
required to lower planter
SELECTOR VALVE, ROTATE and MARKER CYLINDERS
A hitch mounted, hand operated selector valve selects row marker or fold functions. Rotate cylinder is mounted on the
frame and rotates planter to/from transport position. Row marker cylinders raise and lower row markers.
NOTE: Hydraulic pressure will prevent valve from moving. Release hydraulic pressure from
system before attempting to move selector valve handle.
