LDM Frame Weight Distribution (FWD) kits from LDM Ag Services are one of the best solutions available for fighting against planter compaction.
Kits use hydraulic cylinders and a control system to transfer excessive center fill weight out to the wings, eliminating compaction and helping to maintain ride quality and depth for wing rows.
Constant flow is supplied to the control valve, which regulates pressure out to the cylinders. Each system is designed so that the planter still maintains its full up/down flex range of motion. Two types of control systems are available.
Kits use hydraulic cylinders and a control system to transfer excessive weight out to the wings. The hydraulic cylinders are positioned above the wing flex joints with the base end connecting to the center frame and the rod end connecting to the wing.
Constant flow is supplied to the control system which regulates pressure out to the cylinders. Each system is designed so that the planter still maintains its full up/down flex range of motion. The wing just sees an additional downward load that it must overcome to flex upward. The control valve is constantly monitoring the regulated side of the circuit, adding or removing oil to maintain the desired set pressure. If the planter moves over a draw and flexes down, oil is added to the regulated side to maintain the setpoint pressure. If the planter moves over a side hill and flexes up, oil is removed from the regulated side of the circuit.
