Adjusting Tractor Hydraulic Outlets

The tractor must have two double-acting selective control valves (SCV); one for gate control and one for the manual hydraulic twine wrap. Only one SCV is needed when the baler is equipped with optional Auto-Tie feature.

Check times with no bale in chamber and hot oil. Use the same flow setting in the extend and retract directions.

Adjust tractor hydraulic remote outlets to provide approximately a 5 second gate opening time.

For 6000 and 7000 Series John Deere tractors, adjust the SCV lever for no detent, so the 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 the tractor Operator's Manual.)
