Using Rockshaft Position Control
PY1470 –UN–28AUG03M47168 –UN–31JAN92
A—Rockshaft Position Control Lever
B—Rockshaft Draft Control Lever
C—Position Control Lever in rearward position
D—Position Control Lever in desired depth position
E—Position Control Lever and Draft Control Lever in
float position
CAUTION: To prevent unexpected movement of
rockshaft, place draft control lever (B) in a full
forward position before attaching an implement.
Put draft control lever (B) forward when you DO NOT
want rockshaft to adjust automatically to draft load, such
as attaching implement to tractor.
Use position control lever (A) to control hitch movement
and depth. Position control should be used for the
following applications:
TRANSPORT of implements and end of field turn-around.
Position control lever should be moved fully rearward (C)
for transport for both load and non-load sensing usage.
CONSTANT DEPTH of implements on level terrain and
for non- ground engaging implements such as spreaders
or sprayers. Place position control lever at depth desired
(D).
FLOAT operation for implements with skids or depth
gauge wheels designed to carry full implement weight.
Push both levers all the way forward (E) so implement
can follow the ground contour.
NOTE: Lift links can be adjusted for lateral float. (See
Lateral Float in this section.)
