Motor Return
This connection is required to carry the low pressure return oil from the motor to the
hydraulic reservoir or charge circuit. Using a motor return port prevents accidental
reverse operation and possible flow checking of the return SCV coupling. Great Plains
supplies a 3/4” body size ISO 7241-1 Series A male and female coupler with each
YP planter and air drill. The male coupler is installed on the 1/2” or 5/8” motor return
hydraulic hose from the factory. The mating female coupler must be connected to the
tractor motor return port. The motor return hose and couplers are large to reduce back
pressure to the motor.
