Operate Rate-of-Drop

The rate-of-drop valve controls the rate of rockshaft drop when the rockshaft lever is operated. This provides direct rate-of-drop for 3-point hitch-mounted implements. The valve can also be used to hydraulically lock the rockshaft (3-point hitch) in a desired position.

Avoid injury! Excessive rate-of-drop causes injury or damage. Fully lowering implement takes at least 2 seconds.

Avoid damage! To prevent overheating hydraulic oil and damaging machine, do not raise rockshaft when rate-of-drop valve is closed.
