3 point lift

GEB · Jul 14, 2006

4720 still goin strong, very pleased with it.
My 3 point lift is strong no issues with power back there but
it does not seem to react fast enough (going up)
Also I have to lift the lever to almost to the #4 position before it starts to
move up.
This thing has served me well and I'm sure it will continue to do so,
thing is I think I've gotten pertty good with my box blade and now
the reaction of the lift is gettin a little annoying.
Is this normal, anyway to make an addjustment?

My 3510 has a knob down below the seat right in the middle that you can turn to adjust the speed of which the 3 point hitch raises and lowers... I'll bet yours does too... ain't these tractors great??? Brian

Gene, take the implement off the 3-point and let the arms go all the way down, then you will see that when you lift even a little, the arms lift also. Basically the lever describes a greater range of motion in the downward direction than it is allowed when an implement is hooked up, because the implement stops lowering when it hits the ground. I'm not so sure I described this very well, do you understand?

Dave,
That was great.

I have tried, I don't know how many times to say that in away that someone could understand it. I usually get the point across, but with about three times the amount of words. I'll save that post.
