- Page 2 The DrillMaster is designed to drive a Proportional Flow Control Valve using a PWM output. The Valve controls the flow in 1 to 3 Hydraulic Motors so it can be used with 1 to 3 Section Grain Drills or Fertilizer Applicators. All Motors are in series so they all rotate at the same speed and apply the same amount of Seed or Fertilizer.
