860 lift rods/arms

Jamie in NC · Nov 11, 2021

I went to hook up my auger today to the 860 and I couldnt get the bit off the ground with the lift lever at full raise. I have a 1954 NAA that I use this same auger on regularly and was dumbfounded. I had noticed that the newly acquired 860 wouldnt raise implements as high as my NAA, so with both of them side by side, I started looking at each. The arm from the top housing of the 860 was raised just as high as the NAA. Nothing looked different. I started measuring and noticed that the lift rods (#1)and leveling box was different between them. The 860s rod and leveling box were 25 and the NAA is 20. I swapped them and now the auger lifts off the ground. Does anyone know what the correct rod and leveling box length is for the 860 and may have any other suggestions?

Look like 7-900/01 lift rods. Rockshaft arms should be 3-4 inches lower.

I hate to point out the obvious, but the 860 stands quite a bit taller than the NAA, so it makes sense the lift arms would be 4-5" taller to make the same pick up height from the ground.

The 860 should be able to pick up any 3pt auger ever made, I would think. I run a auger on my 860 with a curved boom pole and have no trouble up, down, at all.

Pretty sure my lift arms are about 25" or so plus the adjust on the right arm.

None of my 800/1 tractors lift high enough
to operate my Woods PHD to my liking.
Always put it on 960 or 4600

So the OEM lift rods were designed to not allow the 860 to pickup the lift arms as high as the NAA? With the NAA lift rods, the 860 now picks up the implement the same height as the NAA. The lift arms are the same lentgh.

ppears that docmirror explained it. Larger tires, greater height. To have starting height of 3 point ball at end of arm at same (I believe) 4 1/2 inches above ground as older tractor, the 860 used longer links(rods), therefore when at max lift the ball will be lower than with older tractor, given the same lift range from full lower to max lift.

Jaimie - I went out and measured my 860 - pin to pin is 25 inches. With lift arms all the way down the 3-point pins are 7 inches off the ground.

raft mode or Position control mode are usually different measurements at full lower.

Thanks for the reply Jeff, I changed out the lift rods from my NAA so I could run my auger. I will probably change them back out for other implements. I even moved every adjustment on my auger just to get the high/low just right.

I agree with shuan. the rods look more like the row crop ones.

I agree with Shaun. they look like row crop rods.

haun said, "rock shaft arms", but I suppose we are to assume that he meant "links", which would fall lower with longer "rods'.?
