2920 rear hydraulics question

[ttstraw]

Folks is there a trick to getting the rear hydraulics adjusted. I have been playing with the adjustment on mine and I can稚 seem to get it where when you pull it to the lift position and it reaches full up it bumps the lever back to the neutral position. Just when I think I got it right and use it I find that it not only bumps it back to the neutral position but it does it to the point that it flies back so quick it actually drops it down. Nothing really in the manual on it so I am thinking this is just going to be a trial and error type process.

Thanks

I think it is mostly trial and error. With no load on the 3pt it will raise very fast if you pull the handle all the way back. When I adjusted mine (due to interference with BH sub frame) I would use a slow to medium raise speed to get it to come to the right height and would not jerk the handle out of my hand. I did this with my MMM off so now I have to readjust the linkage on my MMM, because it is not comming up all the way, since I lowered the full raise height of the 3pt arms.

I'm thinking you are right. I adjusted it while sitting and idling with a rock rake on the back, worked pretty slick. Put my RFM on and spin it up to mowing speeds and things change a bit. Thats when it snaps back quicker so I will be making a small adjustment on the lift rod under the seat, maybe even play with the adjustment of the gate on the lever guide.

I almost mentioned the intermediate stop position on the lift handle. I call it the 1/4 inching setpoint/stop. I very rarely push the lift handle to the side to go past it. Usually by the time my patience runs out and I realize I can pull the handle farther the implement is up enough. Mine seems to move slow enough that half the time I'm not sure if I raised the implement all the way because I don't really feel it pull the handle back and I have to give it a good tug (to compress the spring on the bar) just to make sure I got the implement up all the way.

Good Luck, and let me know if you want a picture of where the 1/4 inching stop is set (in the lift handle gate) on mine for comparison.
