Home Brands Vaderstad Shopping around for this part? New Refurbished Repair. First Name. The older Vaderstad black control boxes and newer Control Stations have a re-set fuse which can trip out quite easily.

Run your fingers down the pins as they may appear OK but push in when the connection is made. Also, badly corroded plugs and sockets can lose connection. Look for repairs, cuts, squashed or badly bent cables. Sometimes the wires can come loose in the connection boxes, causing shorts etc. Sometimes a dose of contact spray can solve a lot of problems! Sensors Check the sensors for damage.

Some control boxes such as the Hector , Ag-Tron and Muller have a mode that checks all the sensors for you which can save a lot of time. A very common problem on Vaderstad drills is the work switch.

Most sensors have an LED on the end which is either on all the time or when activated. A lot of hopper sensors work by moisture, so you have to use your hand to make them work. Some drills use electronic solenoids to stop and start mechanisms. These can often be seized and need freeing up with some WD This also applies to the tramlining mag-valves.

Worn male ends or air in the hydraulic system can cause malfunction. Hydraulic hoses can cause problems with a lot of farm machinery, read our post on caring for hydraulic hoses here.
