Adjusting hydraulics
Adjusting hydraulics
Hi all, took a 10ft cultivator out at the weekend behind my major, one thing i noticed was the lift, lifts it too quickly.  Is there a way of slowing the hydraulics down?
			
			
									
									Oh yay, look, another seized bolt!  Lets get a hammer.....and some kano.....and some cider!

Re: Adjusting hydraulics
Nick, are we talking new major or super?
If it's a new major, than you can adjust the speed by moving the lever slowly in the up direction. The further you get it up the faster it will rize. Also a high pto speed (revs) will make ik go faster.
If it's a super, sorry cant' help you.

Re: Adjusting hydraulics
Hi henk, yes i know about moving it slower, but it still moves too quickly.  Probably doesnt help that i had a cultivator with a broken land wheel, so i had to keep adjusting it!
I just wondered if you could turn the flow directly from the pump down a bit so you could be more accurate thats all.

Re: Adjusting hydraulics
Nick, There's no adjustment. It's a strait forward system.
Only thing to do is drive with a low rev.
