Kverneland/Accord marker trouble

[dragonfly]

Just checking over the faithful KV/Accord tine drill, which I have removed from the back of the shed.
The markers lift up and down perfectly on the hydraulics, but they do not move on the bout marker on the FGS control box.
I don't think it is the FGS control box, as I can move on the bout marker manually, using the over-ride button.
What do I check for next, please?

 

[Hard Graft]

reed switches probably

Also check at the back of the box where the plugs push in I’ve seen them full of dust and stop it moving the sequence

Just work it manually or if you have headland management work them on that .

Mine is not trustworthy either, have to keep constant check on it.
As a above, will be in magnet switches or connections probably.

The switches are on the ram that pulls the cable under the front of the hopper.

Almost certainly the magnetic (or reed) switch on one of the markers is faulty or the distance between the magnet and the sensor is incorrect. The Bout maker will only move on when both markers are up and both sensors detect that they are up.

The box that KV/Accord uses aren’t the most reliable and the plug going into the box can cause a problem too.
Every single one I have ever had, ended up with me Manually moving it on to the next bout. However, the Kuhn one I now use is much better.

Another fault with the Accord system is that it does not like getting wet. I once had it move onto the next bout several times on a single run, during a heavy shower.

Can I ask, why is the Kuhn one better? What system does it use?



And if you listen very hard

The wiring, connections, plugs, junction box and the control box are much better quality. The Control box is called Quantron S 2 and it does much, much more than the original accord box.

May be a break in cable going to magnet switch on marker arm especially where it bends

We had similar and as said above it was the reed switch on the arm. Replacement ordered from @AgriLinc and had it sorted out pretty quickly.
