I recently acquired an 800 cyclo air 4 row 30” planter. After some work, I got the 540 pump and filter cleaned up and working, blower to blow, the hopper/seed drum to seal and the monitors working. But I can not seem to get the hydraulics to work. The row marker arms will not move and the planter will only raise when hooked to the hydraulic remotes. If I turn the tractor off and hold the remote lever between neutral and full down position it will lower. The planter only has 1 hydraulic line running back to a control block that is located under the seed hopper. The planter is hooked to a Ford 4000 gas with a set of Tisco aftermarket remote hydraulics. Does my Ford have enough hydraulic pressure to get the shuttle in the planter control block to move? Do I need to adjust the pressure relief setting on the Ford, I have never had them tested nor do I know how to adjust the relief setting. Should the planter have 2 hydraulic lines? Any help/advice/guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
