John Deere Rockshaft Issue

[Eberlingt]

I put the two row mounted cultivator on my tractor the other day and i lifted it up with the rockshaft, but when I tried to lower it back down it wouldn't move, other than just settling. I hooked up a remote cylinder and the cylinder operated fine.

Might be helpful to state the model of your tractor.

Speed of drop valve might be stuck closed?

(quoted from post at 08:36:15 09/29/20) Speed of drop valve might be stuck closed?

ow do I check/test this? Also is there a chance that the check valve is sticking or blocked?

You have an adjustment on the powr-trol for lowering speed. The throttle valve can be adjusted to
change the lowering speed..

I had taken and screwed the adjuster in and out and it didn't seem to make any difference.

When you removed the plugs from the power trol
for the cylinder I bet they came down?

There are two screws to adjust when you go from remotes to rockshaft. I can never remember which way they go, though. Check the OP manual.
