Was working summer fallow today with my 806 and a 14' set of sweeps and dead rod. It has always seemed the tractor was under more load than it should be. I set the cylinder so that I was getting the weeds with the rod but still had weight on the wheels of the sweeps. I have an old case cylinder with the control pin that hits an adjustable collar on the ram for dept control. Any way for what ever reason I put the valve into float position,(pushed it clear forward). The tractor immediately smoothed out and ran a lot easier. Wasn't acting like it was under any load as before. So I played with several times and everytime I let the sweeps down and left in the normal position, the tractor seemed loaded more. Put in the float position and the tractor ran a lot better like it should. Might the problem be that the valve is constantly bypassing and needs rebuilt. Or, might it have something to do with the case cylinder? I am going to switch the hoses to the right set of outlets that are controlled by the right lever and see if it is any different. Any ideas? Thanks Dan
