Missouri | I will try to take some pics of the planter when I am there, if I remember to bring a camera. It is basically just angle iron supports, holding a backshaft above the row units. The clutches hang off the backshaft, and chains drop down to the row unit drill shaft.
The main limitation of this setup (besides the electrical demands of the clutch solenoids) is the wing flex joints. Because the backshafts are about two feet above the drillshaft (and thusly 2 feet above the wing hinge point), it is not practical for the backshaft to span across the wing joint, due to the excessive length of telescoping driveshaft that would be necessary.
We don't see any 3700's (or 2700's) in our area, so off the top of my head, I don't know where the flex points are. Depending on where the frame drives from, and where it flexes, a backshaft type clutch installation may or may not be practical. | |
