3 point back blade

malis1 · #1 04-16-2012, 08:27 AM

My 240 utility has a 3 point hitch. It seems to have power down. I can't seem to be able to find out how make it float. Any ideas?

Can you change the draft control?

I don't know what that is. Can you explain how that works?

Not sure if the was offered in the 40 series. But the draft control helps to shift the weight load on the tractor when using the 3 point hitch for traction.

If you have it there should be a lever next to or near the lift lever.

If you set it to a light draft it may help it float a little better. Because it would be for a lighter load. A blade to smooth ground would be a light draft. And a turning plow would be a heavy draft.

It doesn't have that. I just had to learn to deal with it. Sure will cut when you want it to. Thanks for the help.
