North Central Iowa | Tedbear is correct the cable won't work "as is" for flow control as the P1 connection (the main 16 round connector) doesn't have wires into pins 3 and 4 (for valve control) and 11, 12, and 13 to pick up the flow meter as needed to go into the EZ-boom as mentioned. Since I only have 3 control valves on 60 ft sprayer, I've repurposed various wires and re-wired the plugs. So for example, used the blue and yellow (from pin 7 and 8) and moved to pin locations 3 and 4 for valve control. Obviously, not as easy as buying a set of cables that might be wired correctly already, but since I was wiring up to something that would be completely custom, not that big of deal. At least at the time, this is one of the few cables I could find that had good wiring/pinout diagrams to know I could figure it out.
I also agree that flow control is the way to go. Baby steps. Had complete manual control for 7 years with a Teejet 744 controller (manual boom switches and a pressure regulating control valve, no flow meter), used an ez-boom for the first time last year. Hopefully this spring will get a flow meter plumbed in.
So hopefully there are some better cables you can get that will be a little less work.
I should also mention that the power for my control valves doesn't come through this cable. I provide this power through the 7-pin ag. trailer plug on the back of the tractor on an auxiliary pin direct from the battery (on a fused line). | |
