Got my TN75! Thanks..

tmag · Apr 21, 2005

I would like to thank you guys for be a wonderful resource in my tractor dealings. I have been using a 2 bottom plow a lot recently and its running great. My fuel gauge seems stuck and Full but that's nothing. One thing you guys might have some insight about is when I lift the plow everything is fine but it takes forever to lower. Any ideas? Either way, so far so good with 7 hours on it!

Congrats on the new tractor! My TN 65 was so slow when I first got it that I had to send it back to the dealer the first day because it stuck all the way up! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif The way to fix it is to adjust the cable for the Lift- O- Matic. I just tightened mine up until it the lift dropped like I wanted it to. TNs have a mixed reputation among box scraper users due to the slow lift action but after tweeking the adjustment I find it works fine.

As bgott says, try taking up on the L-O-M cable first; a 10mm deep socket will do. The cable shouldn't be able to turn in the lever. Also, three piont drop rate is separately adjustable at the hitch valve.

I have a TN 75 with 52 hrs. The drop rate is my only complaint so far. Where is the hitch valve and how do I adjust the drop rate from there?

tmag.....I pull a 3 bottom plow with my TN 75 and it handles it with no problem. If you want to, you should be able to move up in plow size with no problems.

We had the 2 bottom prior, no need to by a new one for the little plowing we do. I will mess with the adjustments this weekend and let you guys know what happens.
