B7500 Lift Speed

[Anonymous Poster]

I just purchased a new B7500 and it was delivered last week. Still getting use to it because Im still use to my 1550 and 6200. My first real job for the machine was to put my gravel drive back together from the snowplowing winter we had. Everything was going well but I am having trouble getting use to the speed in which the 3point raises. Im trying to feather up the rear rake and it pops up so fast, I end up leaving a mound of gravel. I first thaught that I would get use to it in a little while but now Im getting frustrated since I have not been able to smooth out the area like I had before. Does anyone know of a raise spped adjustment for the rear?? Maybe its just me not being use to the new machine.

You have an adjustment for the lowering speed, but not the raising speed. The only way to slow down the raising speed is lower engine rpm or practice feathering the lever.

Yeah, they really do pop up fast. What I do is keep my engine RPM up where I want it and then at the end of my run drop the engine speed while I use the lift control. When the engine is anywhere near idle the 3PH comes up pretty slowly.
