      To troubleshoot steering issues with your BALZER Farm Equipment, ensure the steering hydraulic lever is in the “FLOAT” position. Also, verify the hydraulic connections to the tractor: the YELLOW coded hoses should connect to the right side of the tractor’s hydraulic bank, with the hose having one stripe connected to the RETURN port and the hose with two stripes to the PRESSURE port. Finally, grease the kingpins (if equipped) and the tie rod daily, both when the wheels are straight and fully extended.

      To resolve hydraulic control issues with your BALZER Farm Equipment, begin by checking the hydraulic connections to the tractor and ensuring that the tractor’s hydraulic fluid levels are adequate. Inspect the hydraulic system for any leaks or hose line damage. You may also want to attach the tractor to a different implement to determine if the problem lies with the tractor or the implement. If the problem is with the tractor, contact your local farm equipment service center.

      Nathaniel ParkerAug 9, 2025
      If the PTO on your BALZER Farm Equipment isn't working, first check that the PTO drive lever on the tractor is engaged and that the PTO is properly connected to the tractor. Disengage the PTO, shut off the tractor, and remove the key. Inspect the PTO shaft’s shear bolt; replace it if broken, damaged, or missing. Disconnect the PTO from the tractor and engage the PTO drive on the tractor to check if the tractor’s PTO shaft is turning.

    How to fix Raven SCS660 NVM not controlling flow properly in BALZER ELIMINATOR VACUUM TANK Farm Equipment?

      If the Raven SCS660 NVM on your BALZER Rite Rate Flow System isn't controlling flow properly, begin by checking the Raven SCS660 NVM programming. If the programming is not correct, see “Rite Rate Flow System Programming”. If the programming is correct, check all connections between the Raven SCS660 NVM Controller and the Krohne Optiflux 4100C. Check if the Sky Trak GPS has an unobstructed view of the sky and check GPS on another GPS capable device to see if that device is able to obtain a GPS signal. Check that the gate valves are open when the system is operating and the pump is operating properly.

      To address a vacuum pump that is not working on your BALZER Farm Equipment, check the hydraulic motor and ensure that the hydraulic lever controlling it is engaged. Verify that the hydraulic hoses are properly connected to the tractor and inspect them for leaks. Also, check the tractor’s hydraulic fluid levels and inspect the vacuum and pressure hoses coming off the vacuum pump, as well as the flexible suction tube on the boom, for any leaks. Finally, check the vacuum pump’s internal vanes for excessive wear.
