Floyd County, Iowa | OK. I got a lot of information from the real guru's on here. Tedbear helped me tremendously.
So here's what I know and what I did.
On the back of the 250, terminals 4 and 8 in the Deutsch connector are used for the coverage switch.
NOTE: you CANNOT have any power coming into these ports from an outside source- they are for internally produced signals only.
I went to a local dealer and he made me a couple pigtail wires that I inserted into the Deutsch connector.
I used weatherpak connection on the end of these pigtail wires to make a 2' wiring harness that all the switches plug into when I use that implement.
I mounted a relay switch on my sprayer controller, powered by my center boom ball valve wire, with a short harness coming off that that I can plug into the 250 "coverage" harness.
On my field cultivator, I used a mercury switch, with it's own harness to come up into the cab and hook to the 250's "coverage" harness.
On my ripper, I used a micro switch, with it's own harness.
On my 3 point, I used a micro switch, with it's own harness. My planter is a 3 pt semi mounted planter.
All the harnesses use weatherpak connections.
All the switches took a little planning to get them mounted and actuated the way I want, but it was well worth the time.
Then set the 250 so that coverage is activated by external switch.
Little long winded, but this should give you some ideas to think about as you do yours.
Of course, if you just want a manual toggle switch, hook up the 4 & 8 pigtails to the switch terminals. Just need a simple on/off switch.
But it sure is nice to let the implement switches do it- they don't "forget" to turn on. They'll actually tell you that you forgot to lower it or it isn't all the way down. BTDT.
Here's pics of what I did to mount the switches.
