806 hyd valve question One way cylinders

railhead · Sep 20, 2009

Put a Hesston 1014 haybine swather on my 806. It has only one hose for the main lift (ONE way cylinders) on the swather. It lifted it fine but will not allow it to bleed back down. The swing has a two way cyl thus two hoses and on the other remote it works fine. How can I make my remote used for the lift to bleed back down and allow the swather to lower to cut/store?

806 should work fine on a one way cyl. Use the outlet that will lift the one way cyl when you put lever into the forward, (down position), and then to lower cyl put lever way down into float position. Only reason this won't work would be a coupler problem, check valve block in system or load on cyl not enough to lower itself. You can leave in float position when down if your equipment is positined where you want it to be and then just flip lever back one notch to raise.

Under the hydraulic lever there is a bolt with a 1/2 in head that stops the lever from moving to lower the implement. Make sure the bolt is screwed down for enough for the lever to go into the float position. There should be four positions on these levers. Top-lift, middle-neutral, down one-lower and down 2-float. But if that bolt is up too high it will stop the lever before it gets to float position. Now having said that, an 806 is getting some age on it and you might need to check out the actual valves. If they need to be rebuilt, that could be a problem. That's the problem I am having on a 966.

We used to run a "steerable" plow on our 706D's, tractors had couplers at the rear and both sides. There was a sideshift in the hitch to fine tune the plow position horizontally, with a double cylinder plugged into the rear ports, and a single cylinder at the rear that raised and lowered the back of the plow via the trailing wheel, plugged into one of the right side ports. The sideshift worked off the left lever, trailing wheel off the right, worked just fine- pull back for lift, push ahead for gravity down.
