I am researching a troubling problem with my 3 point. Loaded or unload it comes all the up and stays right where it should (control at top of range). It leaks down maybe ¼ of an inch in a couple hours with a Ferguson three bottom plow on it.
While using a PHD I was getting a horrible bouncing. What I was doing was lowering the PHD, digging down to the point dirt was covering the auger. I would then raise the PHD to expel the dirt, and drop it back down. The issue only happens if I try to hold the height short of all the way up, keeping the bit at the top of the hole vs. all they way out. It would bounce violently about 8-12 inches.
I do not think it is the hiccups as described by leak down. I was in position control and I am leaning towards linkage or other issues. In position control the 3 point does not seem to respond like I think it should. I was/am under the impression the arm should rise “as” I raise the control lever, stopping “and” holding at what ever height I stop at. Currently the 3 point raises at the very top of the control only and acts like a more like a standard hydraulic control either on or off (up / hold / down) at the very top rage of the quadrant control.
Does anyone know a cure, or term cure I could search to pin this down? I did not notice any issues in draft control pulling the plow.
