Doing that Thang

I set the whole rig up and went at it. The Thang did it's job pretty well the deck still came up 1 or 2 times. Any ideas?

Pre Thang the arms would go up and keep going up with a heavy load on (disc or mower) then would stick in the up position. I had to dismount and give the implement a slight lift with the quadrant down to get the arms to go down. (No Del I did not do this while the mower was running and yes I do have an ORC.)

If I back up with the mower, the dog bones flip under the three point hitch arms and the arms come up, causing the Zane Thang to readjust the arms to that new position. The same thing happens if traversing a steep ditch where the mower comes up at the rear. Make sure you have enough slack on the chain too. Keeps the mower from slamming down after rolling across the ditch.

I just instinctively reach for the quadrant control about every 10 minutes now to make sure it is still fully down. Also a quick look back will tell me how the hitch is doing. If the chain is tight, the hitch has moved up. Personally, I had to take the depth gauge block off of the Zane thang because it got in the way of the quadrant control going all the way down, as is needed for the KK mower hitch.
