I have the same tractor and always fight trying to raise my blades in small increments. I try to let small amounts of gravel or dirt fall out over distance but usually end up dumping the whole thing. Very aggravating.
Yes!!!! I fought the battle and I was told “tym engineers are aware of the complaints, and they will not be addressing the issue”. I dug through the entire system hoping to find something I could fix. But it’s a design flaw in the valve or the feedback linkage.
@@brcdeer Thanks for understanding the problem and at least wrapping your head around the problem. Maybe a new model will have that fixed and with hope the new valve can be maybe purchased and switched over to current model.
@@waynelowry5528 Yes, I even looked to see if the Mahindra version had a different part number valve, and it's the same. According to my dealer, they made a change to the valve recently, but it doesn't appear that they rolled to a new part number or -number. Otherwise I'd be looking for one of the old valves.
Wouldn't Pat's easy hitch instead solve the problem? I'm looking at a 474 but I'm older and disabled so thinking that and a ptolink. Add a hydraulic top link too.
I do have rear remotes, but if I install a hydraulic top link, I no longer have rear remotes. My problem with the Hyd top link are this, they take a set of my remotes to accomplish something that is a design issue, also that’s more junk in the back of the tractor, making hooking up pto and what not more cumbersome, and lastly, I don’t typically need adjustability for what I do, I need repeatability.
Summit hydraulics makes a multiplier kit for rear remotes, can turn your single into 4 spool, probably more, manual levers or solenoid with rocker switches. Top and tilt kit for 3pt to solve leveling. Can probably swap valve for variable flow valve and slow it down. Does yours have spring back or detent? Wonder if the valve is designed like that for the detent needed for backhoe 🤔
I think I’m following what you’re talking about, if not, we might be talking past each other. The 3 point is a position type system, meaning as I lift the lever, it lifts the 3 point to a corresponding position. Versus the rear remote, which is a valve (yes with detents in my case….unfortunately), where you just let fluid in or out, and you have to set your position “manually”. Yes the 3 point issue is a valve issue, but this valve is down inside the cast housing of the rear axle, and not any way to adjust speed. The flow is all built into the valve housing. But, yeah multiplier may be a solution at some point.

If anyone ever finds a solution to help that problem I would love to hear about it.

I’m not exactly sure. I’ve never used them personally.
Hydraulic top link, if you have rear remotes
