Independent Marker Control (Optional)

Allows you to operate the marker independent of the planter lift system. The independent marker control requires an additional SCV (A) on the tractor.

Depending upon how the marker hoses are attached to the tractor outlets, when the marker remote cylinder operating lever is moved in one direction, the marker will raise. When it is moved in the opposite direction, the opposite marker will lower. The markers will operate alternately each time the lever is cycled fully to both raise and lower the marker.

A marker alternating valve automatically shifts oil flow (so the opposite marker can be lowered) each time the lever is moved from the marker-lower to the marker-raise position (even when the lever is moved only briefly). In this way the following additional marker functions are possible:

1. One marker can be raised partially (to clear an obstacle), then lowered again by cycling the lever twice quickly (without actually moving the markers) until the marker function returns to the same marker.

2. Both markers can be lowered (as when starting in the middle of a field) by lowering one marker, then quickly cycling the lever (without raising that marker) so the second marker will lower.
