JD 2720 Question

[stablerock]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and have several questions that hopefully someone will have the answers to.

Not sure what it's called....but on a JD 2720 and maybe other similar models as well, there is an adjustment knob directly in the middle between your legs on the floor.
I know its some sort of hydraulic adjustment....and can be adjusted from "fast to slow" etc., but unsure exactly what it's function is and how it affects hydraulic performance.

I think it slows down the hydraulics some so your attachments are not so quick and jerky, but does it also reduce the hydraulics power ?

Can it be adjusted to make the 46 backhoe attachment more smooth...and less fast and jerky, without reducing the digging power/force ?

I'm considering a used 2720 and would like some more info before I pull the trigger.

Thanks Jeff

Jeff it only slows the lift and fall of the three point hitch so you don't slam your three point attachments like Bush Hogs on the ground . very gentle turns allows you to ease them down . Hope this answers your question
