The CCS and vacuum system must be operated with tractors that have the capability of controlling hydraulic flow rates from the cab (to control vacuum level).

In-line flow control valves are needed when the following applications occur.

  • Connected to the power beyond circuit.
  • Dual vacuum motors are installed and controlled with one SCV.
  • Connected to a tractor without the capability of controlling hydraulic flow rates from the cab.

See your John Deere dealer for more information.
