John Deere 336 with #30 Bale Ejector Problem

[sgm98z]

I have a Massey 255 and a John Deere 336 with a #30 bale ejector.

The Massey has a set of remotes that are normally used for the FEL which works fine.

When I hook up the baler to the remotes I can only get the ejector to turn in one direction. In order to get it to turn the other way I have to reverse the hydraulic lines. I'm wondering if this is a problem with the baler or the tractor?

The reason I'm confused is that the FEL works just fine when connected to the remotes.

Any ideas how to isolate the issue?

Does the FEL have its own control valve.... I expect so.

Some rear remotes are intended for double acting cylinders and either half of the remote can become an IN or an OUT port.

I do not know your tractor and what control you have over the rear remotes.

It may be that if you cannot change your remote's IN and OUT, that you need a double acting valve in order to control the baler.

Then the hook up will be like your loader.

Dave, thanks for the reply. I think you may have nailed it. The FEL does have it's own control valve. I didn't think of that. I'll look into the double acting valve and see if that remedies the issue. Thanks again, Mark
