| I know that JD 7200 planter leveling has been discussed here before, and I've had my own issues with it over the years. Knock on wood, going on second year of not having to mess with the cams for the little electrics switches.
Last year, one wing wanted to drop down toward the end of the season and we ended up finding a slow but speeding up leak in a poorly made hydraulic hose that we had recently replaced going from the frame to the outside wheel cylinder. Replacing the hose seems to have solved that.
This year, have a new and different problem on that same right wing. When it's in transport mode, the outermost wheel won't go up as far as it should, and the other one next to it goes up higher than it should, to the point where the cylinder bottoms out. When I folded it up today, the inside wheel on that wing went up all the way before the other one went up at all. Also, noticed that when I set the planter all the way on the ground folded, the weight of the planter pushed the outside wheel the rest of the way up.
In planting mode, we have been mostly okay so far this year, although yesterday, that wing started wanting to ride a little high, just that wing, not the other one. We rephased, which didn't help, then did the routine of raising up and down a few times and then bleed all the cylinders a little bit and that made that right wing settle down to about level. But, that rephase and bleeding process didn't seem to stop those two wing wheels from acting wrong when folding up for transport.
It's not a major problem, the wheel gets high enough to move the planter around, but just curious if anyone else has run across this problem and found a fix. | |
