I remember dad's old White 4-row planter had a cable setup attached to the lift cylinders that you would have to cycle sometimes to get the correct marker to come down. Never did go look at how it works. Hope the cylinder works out! Thanks for the video!

my 4020 is down and I worked on it this afternoon and evening until I got hungry and came to the house to eat while watching this video. the row markers are move complex than I could have imagined.

Great video thanks brother. Glad you know your hydraulics. The patients to deal with them. Hope you was able to get back in the field. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

good thing you know someone that does hydraulics.....this rain just keeps us soaked.

Run the marker hose to a valve on the tractor and bypass the lift cylinder line. Marker will then work independently of the lift cylinder and run on an independent cab lever. That actuator does not seem to be original for it looks in great shape. Wish I could find one that nice.

I had oil pouring out of the frame on my planter last spring. Turned out it was a hole in the steel line that runs from the center of the frame to that cylinder. I was shocked Deere had one on the shelf!

Gotta love hydraulics. Replacing 2 hydraulic lines with hydraulic hoses due to rust. But the truck is a 1997 and I believe they are original. I'm surprised they lasted that long.

Great video CE

Hello CE! You certainly are the master hydraulic tech with respect to design and function. Very cool to see that "magic retaining ring" in that cylinder, a first for me... Are you always able to obtain parts locally or, do you have to source them from suppliers occasionally? Looking forward to part 2 of this adventure, thanx for sharing! Work safe, see ya on the next 1 Doug@ the "ranch"
