L3400 3-point hitch adjustment

[Chilly807]

Great job so far, hope it works out great for your effort. (shoot a hoyt)

Ever see the ol' vampire movies where they hang garlic in front of a vampire and he backs up, hissing?

That'd be me with a Hoyt nearby :laughing::laughing:

Seriously, I haven't shot PSE in a lot of years, it's just that the sticker has held up better than I thought.

I've got a Martin recurve I shoot now when the urge strikes me, and an old Mathews MQ1 that I'm pretty fond of when I feel the need for speed.

One of the guys at work is a Hoyt pro shooter, he just shakes his head at the old Mathews.

Well guys... I think I spent a couple of days taking it apart, measuring, re-adjusting.. and finally putting it back together this morning to run it.

All for...































The smoothest dam* 3 point hitch I've ever seen on an L3400 :cool2::cool2::cool2:

I'll have to put an implement on to really try it out properly, but from what I've seen so far it is SWEET.. the roughest part is the little jumps the lever itself sometimes moves in.

I'll try to get the winch on before I go to work so you can see some video before it all goes back together for good. Plus, if it isn't as good as I think it is from the initial impression, I may try another tweak.

It is sounding like we need to find the guy on the 3 pt valve assembly and final adjustment line over in Japan, and beat him to a bloody pulp
Sean post up some video so we can all slobber over it.:licking: Thanks

My fingers are crossed, hoping the implement test goes well. Good luck, and thanks for posting, in such great detail, exactly what you have done.

All I have within easy reach in the garage was the logging winch, the rear blade is about 200 feet away. When you're trying to drive standing up with one hand holding the seat switch depressed, 200 feet is like 200 miles.

I have a "before" video with the rear blade already on Youtube, so once I get things reassembled I'll take another "after" video with the blade attached for a better comparison of the difference.

For now...

THAT IS SO SUPER AWESOME SMOOTH!!! Great Video... How would you "rate" the difficult level of this job? No cost other than your time? TRULY FIXED IT... or I should say "adjusted" it properly.
