3 point lift

[LouNY]

Some lift control levers are adjustable, it's position control and could have a bit of delay.

Do you have an attachment on when you are trying this? If you have no attachment on the lift arms, and they are lowered all the way, they should move instantaneously when you move the lever. If you have an attachment on that holds the arms up a little, the valve won't move until it gets to the position where the arms are.

It痴 the same either way, implements or no implements

small delay on lifting , I am lifting large round bales and taking them out in the field. I have never had issue raising or lowering on my XG3025.

it doesn't have any trouble lifting anything I've put back there so far, it's just that it doesn't start lifting until the lever is at the halfway mark

mostly my implements, but I do have a big round bale of mulch hay I had to move out of my way. no trouble lifting it, just a delay like with everything else

Not sure if there is any type adjustment on the lever itself

I don't think there is. I did my 50 hour service yesterday and while I was under there greasing stuff and changing the hydraulic filter, I was also checking everything else out too. Nothing looked adjustable at all.

also, you other xg3025 owners, when I was doing my service yesterday, I was expecting the oil pan to be split with two drain plugs because of the proximity of the front drive shaft, but my drive shaft goes under mine, and there was only 1 drain plug....so did I read it wrong or is the oil pan with 2 drain plugs for that reason only on the small frame tractors?

Only 1 on mine. When the times come to actually change the hydraulic fluid you will need an impact for that drain plug.

thanks for the heads up. I didn't actually lose as much fluid changing the filter as I thought I would, but it sure helps to keep a rag handy to screw the new one back on with cause my hands (with rubber gloves) were slick as snot.....LOL

I've also known there's no 'dipstick' on the oil cap on the front end, although the book says to make sure the fluid level is between the low and high marks, I just added until it appeared it was just below the hole, kind of hard to tell where it is without a flashlight

It dipstick is on the side. On mine the hyd fill on the rear end does have a dipstic on it. Check all your clamps and fittings you be surprised how many you will find loose

yeah I knew the rear has a dipstick. I didn't realize on the front the cap itself has the dipstick though, I can say, sadly, that it's been low since I brought it home then because I didn't know what I was supposed to be looking for. It's good now, though I need to go back and check it, I may have a little too much in it now.....I can use the boat motor lower unit pump to take some out if I need to
