Hi,
Tractor is approx. 2008 JD 6230, we are running a 4 row vacuum planter with it.
Pressure checks right at 3000 psi.
The issue is you set the vacuum level and it maintains it correctly until you lift up the planter. When you use the other remote the vacuum level drops to almost nothing and the concern is this will loose the prime on the seeds on the disk's. The issue does not even seem to be the extra flow going to the lift cylinders of the planter because when you work the other hyd. circuit with nothing hooked to it and hold the lever back it does the same thing and even worse than just raising the planter.
We also have a JD 6110 ( late '90's ) and when hooked to this planter it does not matter what you do with the other SVC's -the flow to the vacuum fan does not change.
My guess is that some type of bypass or relief valve is not working correctly on the 6230, it may have been doing this from when it was new but I can not recall.
Thanks for any in sight into this issue you may have.
