I'm looking for someone I can talk to about an Allis Chalmers 8030. Need help understanding the hydraulics. Im trying to get a pp 20 20 hydraulic drive to run my planter drive. I have the planter raise lower on remote 1, makers on 2 and hydraulic drive on 3. The problem I have is when the I get to the headlands (the drive isn't running anymore) I can't raise the planter but if I put the hydraulic drive remote in neutral it will raise. The tractor has about 20 gpm of flow. The drive only uses about 5 when it's running they say. So why is it when it's not using any flow I still can't raise the planter. I've played with the flow controls on the valves but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Is the hydraulic drive an actual PP drive or is it a third party drive? How do you have the flow control set for remote 3 on the tractor? It should be set as low as possible and still get the drive to the proper speed for the population that you are planting. |
