It still would not lower with an implement on without moving draft control lever back an inch and return to full forward. The lift arms worked fine with no implement, both raising and lowering, and so I decided to test it by putting the implement back on. Bottom line, there was no issue with the position control settings. Well, I could not achieve right results before going back to reset the position control linkage back to about where it started. I started with the position control and adjusted the position control rod back to factory specs, then went on to do the other adjustments listed in the manual. I did download the service manual as suggested by Dustyx2 and focused on the section on position and draft control linkage. Yea! Stop reading now if the details bore you. I have the 3ph working properly now on my 7060. Lower hole on bracket creates more movement(control) of 3 pt hitch control valve & upper hole gives less control to draft control determined by how much movement rod in photo has. Lower hole on bracket creates more movement(control) of 3 pt hitch control valve & upper attaching hole gives less control to draft control determined by how much movement rod in photo has.ĭraft control was designed to "automatically" raise/lower 3 pt hitch from amount of movement exerted on centerlink attaching bracket. I'm unaware draft control directly controls rate of drop of 3 pt hitch.ĭraft control was designed to "automatically" raise/lower 3 pt hitch from amount of movement exerted on centerlink attaching bracket. I agree speed control valve/knob should control oil flow out of 3 pt control valve to limit how fast oil exits control valve depending how much rate of drop valve is opened from fully closed position. Granted changing draft control lever can possibly affect control valve opening clearances due to altering linkages. If you don't agree disconnect attached 3 pt implement then lower 3 pt,engine idling then reach down & 3 pt lower draft arms can be easily raised by hand. On most tractors including the M7060 the 3 pt hitch remains in "floating position" 100% of the time. I'm confused when one states putting 3 pt in ""float position"". Makes little sense to me, but there's that too I saw some different stories on different makes about how you lift a 3ph with draft control - some people seemed to suggest you lift it using the draft lever. You need to disengage the draft control - so maybe leaving it in float stops the 3ph dropping. But in that situation I don't really see why messing with the draft control changes thingsģ. The speed control is broken/stuck, so you're turning it off, but it's not actually going off. I know, you're probably not an idiot, but just in case, that'd be something I'd look atĢ. You think you've turned the speed control all the way off, but haven't. Messicks did a video on it, and I vaguely recall it being for what you seem to be using it for - managing an implement's depth over terrain.ġ. I'm not all that familiar with draft control. If it were the speed control, then expected behaviour would be that it would go up fine (speed control doesn't impact lowering), but when lowering it would go down slowly. Sucking eggs and all that.but the behaviour you describe really does sound like the speed control. Is this an operator problem because I'm doing something wrong? I will appreciate any insights the forum members may have to offer. I grew up on a farm, but in those days there was no draft control on the 3 point hitches that I recall. I retired late last year after 40+ years and bought some land and some equipment. I've tried moving the speed control knob back and forth with the implement raised and position control lever in low position (without touching the draft control) and nothing happens. The speed control knob has no bearing on this unless it is closed completely and then the implement stays up no matter what else is done. The hydraulics are very strong on 3 pt and also on loader. Needless to say, this gets old when you are frequently raising and lowering an implement. I can't believe it's supposed to operate this way, but I see nothing in the manual that sheds any light. To lower the implement, I first lower the 3pt lever position (implement stays up), then I move the draft control lever about an inch back and then return to full forward. I keep the draft control all the way forward (float position) except when I'm lowering the 3 pt hitch. The 3 point hitch raises very well, but it will not let the implement down (usually) without first exercising the draft control lever. Recently I purchased a new 8" disc and the 3 point hitch issue is more of an aggravation with the disc which I raise and lower more frequently. I also bought a new Bush Hog 316 and this is mostly how I have used the tractor. I purchased my 7060 early this year used with < 100hrs. Just joined this forum and this is my first post.
