The vacuum system is designed to be operated with tractors that have the capability of controlling hydraulic flow rates from the cab (to control vacuum level). If vacuum system is connected to the power beyond circuit and dual vacuum motors are installed. In-line flow control valves must be used to control flow.

When dual vacuum motors are connected to one SCV, in-line flow control valves must be used to control flow. See your John Deere dealer.
