Conditions for Use of Hydraulic Fan Drive

The tractor must be fitted with the following equipment:

  • Parallel operation:- Parallel operation of the SCVs is necessary to allow the opener pressure to be adjusted during sowing.
  • Number of SCVs:- Suitable SCVs must be available for the selected hydraulic functions; it may be possible to couple similar functions together. Priority must be given to the oil supply for the hydraulic fan drive.
  • Special requirement for certain tractors:- Conversion plate LCB498853 must be fitted to all John Deere tractors that do not have load-sensing valves.

    A special coupler (A) is provided with the machine to be installed on the tractor. It is designed so return oil will be pressure-free.
