Newbie woes

[dnw64]

Just laughing at myself a bit here. I've never really worked on/with Ag equipment before. I did work at a country club throughout HS but all we used the tractor for was pulling mowers. And that was 35+ years ago...

Anyways, I wanted to use my 3 pt mounted drawbar today, to pull a small trailer. It had been in the Full Down position since I bought the tractor. So I was playing with the lift and when I tried to let it down it wouldn't go. Even when applied my 210# on it, which seemed like it should be enough, it wouldn't budge a mm.

Thankfully, I had spent the bucks and purchased an Operator Manual, and found that there is such a thing as Descent Speed, and apparently it had been set at None...

You be surprised how many folks find that to be the problem. Good catch. Now you know that knob works.

Oh, Yeah. I remember those days fondly.

It's been 5 years and 600+ hours now.

I'm still finding things on my LS that I didn't know before.

They've kept my wife from finding a cadaver out in the fields.

It's a sad day when you DON'T learn something new!!

Stay safe, stay dirty and keep learning.

Thanks.

AS we say in the shop "ok, you learned something new, you can go home now" ... not.

There is as thread started about 20 months ago or so called dumb questions that need good answers. It covers quite a varied quantity of topics by numerous rookie users. Maybe you'll stop over to it and learn and add in

And.. I see you're the one who started it

Thanks!
