Open Center Kit with Closed Center Change Valve - BN280593
#

The open-center hydraulic check valve is a pilot-operated check valve which traps oil to opener cylinders, maintaining preset position when tractor valve is neutralized.  This check valve is required if drill is to be connected to tractors with open-center hydraulic system. It may also be used with closed center hydraulic systems. If the tractor valve is not neutralized on open-center tractors, damage to tractor will result (heat buildup in the hydraulic system). Kit includes: check valve, pilot line and necessary hydraulic fitting for installation.

NOTE: This should be ordered when drills are rented or leased.

Select-Lift Kit for 30, 40, 50, 55 and 60 Series Row Crop Tractors - 25 Ft. Drills - BN907247
Select lift Select lift

The select lift kit allows an operator to selectively disengage a complete box and openers, and is ideal when drilling out point rows and headlands.

 

The control switch is located in the tractor cab, and there is a toggle switch for each box. One master switch is used to override or disengage system. Switches activate solenoids, which reverse oil flow, raising openers out of ground and disengaging clutches.

 

NOTES:

1. 4WD tractors require one R100373 adapter plate to mount the console and one AN280262 wiring harness to extend the console harness (Parts).

2. On tractors with a two-pin convenience electrical outlet, order one AA37254 (Parts) two-pin to three-pin adapter.

3. On tractors without a convenience electrical outlet, order one AE50549 and one AA37254 (Parts).

4. Compatible with closed-center or pressure-compensated hydraulics. Not compatible with open-center hydraulics.
