fast hitch

[Howard Junkin]

i have a 450 with a fast hitch tha works good. what i would like to know is if there is down pressure? and if there is how do you get it to work?
thanks howard

Yes there is down pressure. There are pins in the lift rods that can be used to let it float or apply down pressure. Also at the bottom of the cylinder I believe the there is a pivot with a pin which will lock it to give down pressure. It has been number of years since I have beenaround one, but that is what I remember.

Howard here's some pics off my super mta. Should be the same as yours. I just have a bolt through mine, but I should have a real pin. I'm using a bolt to point too the pin in the second pic. Third pic is underneath the tractor.

The hydraulic valves can also be switched between single-acting and dual-acting.

Does the fast hitch cylinder suck back in under power, or does it just seem to float down? If it sucks back in with authority, then you need to install the float pins. If it just floats down you need to switch the hydraulic valve to dual acting.
