3720 PHD - Hydraulic Requirements
Recommended Flow Requirements:
Hydraulic flow requirements are highest when turning on the headlands. The recommended flow allows the seeding system to be raised and lowered within two headlands. It should be noted that the recommended fan requirements are for the maximum operational speed (RPM) of the fan.
Minimum Hydraulic Flow Requirements:
Recommended hydraulic flow should provide minimal fan slowdown during headland turns. The openers will take hydraulic flow priority over the fans.
If operating at minimum flow requirements, the air seeder fans will drop a minimum of 20% during headland turns. This may require a 3rd headland to allow the openers time to raise and lower.
In typical operating conditions one or both fans are operating at less than maximum output levels, which will reduce hydraulic requirements.
FLOW REQUIREMENTS
MINIMUM GPM
RECOMMENDED GPM
DEPTH CIRCUIT (7.5" spacing with MRB) 24 30
DEPTH CIRCUIT (7.5" spacing w/o MRB) 18 30
DEPTH CIRCUIT (10" spacing with MRB) 20 30
DEPTH CIRCUIT (10" spacing w/o MRB) 15 22
DEPTH CIRCUIT (12" spacing with MRB) 18 25
DEPTH CIRCUIT (12" spacing w/o MRB) 13 18
Pressure Requirements:
With many tractors, maximum hydraulic flow drops off sharply prior to maximum operating pressure. By setting the tractor to a pressure setting of 3100 psi the hydraulic flow will be near the rated output at the maximum operating pressure.
The 3720 Independent Coulter Drill has a minimum and recommended operating pressure of 2500 psi.
Coupler Requirements:
A ½” coupler is only rated for flow rates of 12 gpm. As flow increases beyond this value, a large pressure drop is created across the couplers which in turn increases pressure requirements. The durability of the ½” couplers can also be compromised when operating at high flow rates.
It is recommended to use ¾” couplers on the tractor and implement, as this will greatly reduce the pressure drops and will increase the flow of oil to the fan or opener cylinders.
