Abstract: A power take off (PTO) driveline shaft of an agricultural implement may be securely stowed when not in use using a PTO driveline storage device. The storage device is pivotably mounted to the frame of the agricultural implement, such as the hitch, and may be rotated from its own stowed position to a position to provide support for the PTO driveline shaft when the PTO driveline shaft is not connected to the PTO of a tractor or other machine having a PTO output. The storage device includes an arm having a first end that is mounted to the hitch and has a second end that is adapted to fit against the PTO driveline shaft when the device is being used to stow the PTO driveline shaft. When not in use, the storage device may be rotated clear of the PTO driveline shaft and pivoted to a position where it may be securely stowed.

Abstract: A case drain circuit particularly well suited for use with a bulk fill subassembly or a vacuum fan assembly of an agricultural implement towed by a tractor or similar vehicle includes a pressure switch that may cause illumination of an in-cab warning light and/or sounding of an in-cab alarm when pressure in the case drain circuit exceeds a predetermined threshold. A fan is driven by a solenoid controlled hydraulic motor which is supplied hydraulic fluid under pressure from a flow control valve to the motor in accordance with electrical signals that are supplied to the solenoid by a controller. The case drain circuit provides a pathway along which leakage fluid from the motor may be delivered to a fluid reservoir, preferably carried by the towing vehicle. During undesirable high pressure conditions in the case drain circuit, the pressure switch provides a corresponding high pressure signal to the controller that in turn cuts electrical current to the solenoid to cut the flow of hydraulic fluid to the motor.
