Subject: RE: Controlling half disconnects with jd rate controller


Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn.
I haven't done that with a Deere rate controller but a few things come to mind.

The clutches use power to STOP planting as you are aware. This means the logic of ON and OFF is reversed when compared to controlling sections on a sprayer. This reversal in logic and be done with some relays. The relays may be necessary anyway since the half width disconnects may take more current than the rate controller can handle.

Rate controllers often involve an implement switch which may be an issue. The half width disconnect clutches may be using frame ground rather than a hard wired ground. A rate controller may be expecting some flow information typically from a flow meter which you would not have.

There are really several things that would be involved.
