I think I have an idea as to how the draft and position control operate on my MF50, but I want to run it by you folks, with a few questions.I understand that when using position control it is to raise and lower implements to a given fixed height (like keeping a brush cutter level above the ground). When using position control, the draft lever should be in the full down position. This is where things get a little confusing for me. I understand the concept of draft, but I am not sure I understand the total function of the draft lever's position and the contribution of the position control lever with respect to it. I gather that when using draft, the position control lever is all the way down, except that on my Model 50 (and I am gussing the 35's too). It appears that the section of position control lever in the full down to about 1/4 up is also draft response - where full down is slow draft response and up to about 1/4 up is fast draft response. Whew! With respect to the draft lever, full down is heavy draft and as the lever is pulled-up, draft lightens-up. Now my questions! When plowing, how does one set the depth of the plow? Is it with position or draft? At the end of the row, how does one lift and lower the plow - with the draft lever or position control lever? Finally, I have been told that the draft lever and position control lever should NEVER be in the up position at the same time - damage could occur in the various internal linkages. I have also been told that when the draft lever is full up, the hydro pump is in constant pumping mode. Well, here is my question. Suppose I have a post driver attached to my 3-point hitch. I use the position lever to set the height above the ground. Would I then set the draft lever to full-up for constant pumping so my remote hydraulics will provide hydraulic oil to the post driver for it's operation? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
