Adjusting Tractor Hydraulic Outlets
The tractor must have one double-acting selective control valve (SCV).
If baler is equipped with optional hydraulic pickup lift, the tractor must have an additional SCV.
(Two hydraulic circuits total.)
NOTE:
Adjust hydraulic flow with a bale in chamber and hot oil.
NOTE:
Check times with no bale in chamber and hot oil.
Adjust tractor hydraulic remote outlets to provide approximately 5 second gate opening time.
For 6000 and 7000 Series John Deere tractors, adjust SCV lever for no detent, so lever returns to neutral when released.
For 8000 Series John Deere tractors, set detent time to 0. (See Hydraulics and Selective Control Valves section in tractor operator's manual.)
For tractors with low hydraulic flow (less than 25 L/min [6.5 gpm]), install orifice in bale density control valve to prevent pinching belts when closing gate. (See INSTALL ORIFICE IN TRACTORS WITH LOW HYDRAULIC FLOW in the Service-Baler section.)
