PTO Question

Now that I'm three or four days into using my first implement, I'ts dawning on me that the Fordson 3-point has a weakness. It is the fact that it seems that you have to leave the PTO engaged in order to keep the implement elevated so you can do other things with the tractor. If I elevate the implement to use the tractor and at the same time disengage the PTO, down comes the implement. This is a bit of a surprise to me, since my little Mitsubishi has a 3-point that stays where you put it, and it isn't dependent on having the PTO engaged. Or perhaps there's a way to keep the implement up without having the PTO grinding away. Anybody know?

Your hydraulics were never designed to hold the implement up all day. One of the rivals at the time, Massey Ferguson, had hydraulics that hit the ground as soon as you stopped the PTO.

Saying that however, they should drop over a period of hours not minutes. My Super takes about three days to drop with a rotovator on the back but some would drop in a couple of hours.

Try pulling out the auxillary service control whilst the lift is up and see if that makes any difference. If the lift still drops, it indicates a worn piston seal. If it stays up it indicates a worn control valve or check valve.

The other way out would be to fit a raised PTO unit.This is basically a gearbox on the end of the PTO shaft that allows you to take the PTO out of gear and leave the lift working. You would need to get the PTO shaft aswell as the gearbox but they can possibly be found at a breakers.

Thanks, Majorman. What is the "auxilliary service control"? I have thought I'd accounted for just about all the levers on the tractor. This is a big issue for me, so I want to make sure I understand you completely.

Its the knob towards your right leg on top of the lift, just in front of the flow control. You pull it out and it diverts the oil to (eg) a loader or trailer.

Thanks, again, MM. I figured it out after buying a pretty knob to fit the flow control. Hadn't noticed it before. My lift now stays up by itself while I do other work sans PTO. I'm sure there'll be more to come down the corn row, so don't go away.
