1066 900 planter

Anonymous-0 · May 17, 2013

Does a 1066 have enough hydraulics to run a 900 4 row. I can get a deal on one but it doesnt have the pto pump, Id have to run it with tractor hydraulics. Thanks

I'm pretty sure it won't. You need to find a pump.

You need that EXPENSIVE PTO pump. :>(

For all the plusses of the 1066....the hydraulics certainly aren't one of them.

The hydraulic pressure on a 1066 is somewhere between a spit and a sneeze

I have run an 800 planter with a 1466 for 10 plus years through the tractor hydraulics. You need to shut the fan off to raise it on the ends, but other than that it works fine. I plummed the return hose into the drain plug on the transmission with a right angle fitting. Will run a strong 8oz of pressure at about 1800, if you need more pressure for heavier corn, just rev up your motor.

Thanks for the reply.

If you have small fields with much lifting the planter I think you will really hate it. A pump can be worth up to about $500 but I've gotten them as low as $100. If you have the fan off long enough to lose air pressure, all the seed falls back to the bottom of the drum so your going to go a little ways until the holes in the drum re fill. I was going to run one on a tractor that is rated at 18 GPM and I got 14 GPM when I tested it on a flow rater and it would not lift and run the blower at the same time well, went to PTO and it's much nicer.
