I'm wanting to plant a small field of sunflowers on our farm and the county extension office of the Soil and Water Conservation district has a no-till seeder I can rent very inexpensively, but it needs a rear remote to raise and lower the seeder. Could I unhook the hi-lift and tap into that remote vs installing a rear remote on my tractor? If so, what would I need? The tractor is an L2850 and the hi lift is a Kubota BF500.

Thanks!

For a one off the easiest is to use one of the spools on the BF500. Do you need a single or double acting control valve.for the seeder?
