Permenant Qualitrol?

Post by Chug-A-Lug »

Did a little experiment with out Dexta the other evening and leant on the top link while in Qualitrol... Suprise suprise it works! I thought just to be sure I'd do the same when in position control... and guess what happened? The arms raised again :scratchhead:

What's going on? Surely this isn't right?

Does anyone have any ideas?

It became a problem a few days ago when mounting a McConnel Power Arm as the slightest upward/forward movement of the implement causes the lift arms to raise, forcing the implement against the top link rocker!

Any help really would be appreciated :)

This is still a problem and I can't work out what would cause it...

Thats interesting. I moved the top link to the bottom position a while ago because it tips my pallet forks back further as they are lifted. Maybe I'll try the top and see what difference it makes, but in my mind it will make things more sensitive...

Thanks though Skyblue, its worth a try...

Seems to have improved things. I'll update if I notice any of the symptoms again...
