The discharge of the Buhler Farm King Grain Vac Conveyair 6640 may not raise even when full of oil due to several possible issues:

1. Hydraulic Pressure Problem – If the hydraulic system has trapped air or insufficient pressure, it may not operate correctly. Ensure all lines, fittings, and couplers are tight and in good condition.
2. Overfilled or Underfilled Reservoir – Overfilling can cause heating from oil churning, while underfilling can cause heating from lack of lubrication, both affecting performance. Ensure the hydraulic oil is at the correct level.
3. Blocked or Faulty Hydraulic Valve – A malfunctioning or clogged hydraulic valve may prevent proper fluid flow, hindering the discharge boom from raising.
4. Hydraulic Motor Issue – If the hydraulic motor driving the system is not functioning properly, it could prevent movement.
5. Tractor PTO Speed – If the tractor PTO operates too slowly, it may not generate enough hydraulic pressure to lift the boom.

Check these areas systematically to identify and resolve the issue.

  • Page 15: Airlock Rotation

    Operation - Grain Vac Airlock Rotation Do not run the airlock in the reverse direction. Damage may WARNING occur to the hydraulic motor. For Best Performance 1. Working area should be reasonably level and dry. 2. The tractor should be positioned to have the driveline angles at a minimum. 3. The Farm King Grain Vac should be located so the intake line is as straight and as short as possible. 4. When using the Farm King Grain Vac to load trucks, make sure there is adequate room for the receiving vehicle to get under the discharge cyclone. Check the rotation of the airlock. Coupler should turn as indicated by arrow. If airlock rotates in wrong direction, stop and reverse direction of control lever on the tractor, or shut down the hydraulic system and reverse the order of the hoses plugged into the tractor couplers. Breaking In Your machine has been operated for a short time at the factory to assure good performance. It can however not be considered broken in. It normally takes 5 to 10 hours of operation for all parts to be polished by the grain stream and for the machine to come up to full capacity. We recommend the following checks during the break in period: A. After operating for 1/2 hour - 1. Check for overheated bearing. Lubricate or adjust as required*. 2. Check for oil leaks. Tighten or replace part and oil as required* High pressure fluids can penetrate the skin and cause WARNING infection and toxic reaction.
