I have a CK3520SE Cab. One of the rear remote levers is *very* hard to get out of its neutral position, resulting in abrupt hydraulic function operation when it is finally forced to move.

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment for the stiffness?

Try lubricating the cable.... Probably internally corroded.

Thanks for the thought.

Brand new tractor, so unlikely to be corrosion.

I'll take a look at the linkage (no cables, I believe, but I could be wrong -- I'll know tomorrow).

Just because it's 'new to you' don't mean it has not sat out in the weather or was transported to your dealer on a flat bed in the rain or inclement weather. Newly built and new to you are 2 entirely different things.

It wasn't magically created just when it arrived at your place. It's been 'hanging around' for a while, maybe quite a while so check the cables / connections for corrosion and remedy that accordingly.

I'm not too sure on that tractor that they even have cables. According to parts diagram I looked at the levers are connected directly to the valves.
Original poster look at the valve body itself in the rear and see how they are connected. No adjustment that I could think of. If working it back and forth (tractor off just move the lever) doesn't seem to loosen it up I'd let the dealer handle it since its new.
