Hydro version

The rotors are raised and lowered via the single-acting hydraulic
control device. Single swath operation is controlled by switching on
and actuating the pilotbox.

The swath width is controlled using the double-acting hydraulic control
device. Raising and lowering the transport chassis is controlled by
switching on and actuating the pilotbox.
