Hi all.
I appreciate that most of you guys own a newer Kubota than me but I have a little problem that I would like to try and get sorted.
Two weeks ago I bought an L1501 (L185). It runs great but I have been doing a bit of brush cutting and have found an issue with the speed that the 3 point linkage raises. I have been able to adjust the lowering speed to an acceptable level for what I want to do but when I try to raise the brushcutter/3 point linkage it goes up way to fast.
The raise/lower is done by way of an electric switch on the dashboard as opposed to a lever by my side. I cannot find a way of adjusting the speed of the raising. I have two 'valves' under the front of the seat. The forward facing valve works to slow or speed up the lowing speed. The valve at 90 degrees to this one, turns but does nothing. It can be pushed in a few millimeters against a soft spring but appears to do nothing.
I have no lever, just the switch and if I need to raise it just a little by tapping the switch, it is very jerky and in time will do my 3pth no favours.
If there are any other L1501 users out there or anyone that can help, I would be most grateful.
