My neighbor has a Ford powermaster?(that's what he told me,but it has 4000 decals on it) How do you make implements dig in using the 3 point set-up. He has a 7' scraper blade (just floats on top of ground)and a 6' wide disk (cuts in 1/2" if your lucky)What kind of adjustments can be made,or,what are we doing wrong????? ????? Thanks in advance!!!!

As the others said, weight is what controls the "bite". That is why some of the light duty scrapers aren's too good....not that they don't hold up, it''s that they are too lite.

You can help yours by adding weight to it...I made a hardwood box that I load with stuff from the scrap pile....it's amazing what adifference a 100 pounds will make.

Also, if you extend the top link so the blade angle is "biting", the first bit of material scraped will actually be helping to make the blade "bite". you'll notice bulldozer blades are not perpendicular, but angled back....this is why.

Finally, a little rain goes a long way towards softeneing hard soil....sometimes you gotta time your projects.

Good Luck
Steve

At least among compacts, most 3ph's have position control and may also have draft control. Position control sets the depth the 3ph can lower. It neither holds down the hitch nor exerts down-pressure. Most 3ph's always can float upward. Belarus is one of the few that have a 3ph with down pressure. With a ground-engaging implements, down-pressure would reduce traction and wouldn't be desirable. Implements are designed to take cutting edges into the ground. If the 3ph held down an implement, something likely would break if rocks etc. were hit. An implement that won't cut is not heavy enough for the particular ground or has the wrong angle (adjusted by the top-link). Extra weight can be strapped onto the top of some implements, but that places additional stress on the 3ph mounts, which may be barely adequate in an inexpensive implement.

I'm not really sure of your problem, but the 3 point hitch on these old tractor's are in use only for lifting not for pressing down.

The only way to get the scraper-blade to "dig in" is to put a lot of weight on it.
Any other implement's such as a plow are adjusted to "dig in" by the top-screw.

I think that newer tractor's have a double-action cylinder for the 3 point hitch, my neighbor's 4 wd Belarus has it.
