FAN(S)
Some models are configured
with a single fan while others
may be configured with dual
fans. Fans are driven by
hydraulic motors with speed
controlled by the tractor
hydraulic flow control system.
Fan speed is indicated on the
monitor panel in the cab.
Set fan speed to effectively
transport the seed. A reminder
that higher fan speeds will
increase seed bounce and
possibly damage the seed.
Higher fan speeds also require
more power input from the
tractor.
Typical fan speed ranges for
various product types are listed
below for reference:
