Hydraulic wing decks and rear deck automatically locks for transport
Wing deck lift cylinder
The FM4012 has hydraulic lifts for the wing and rear decks to automatically lock them in the up position for transport. The lift and lower for the wings and deck are operated together through the same hydraulic supply with single acting cylinder, requiring only 1 tractor rear SCV.
To unfold the wings and rear deck from transport position to working position, the FM4012 has a standard rope-pull latch release. An optional hydraulic-wings latch release kit allows the operator to release the decks from transport lock position using a 2nd rear SCV.
