MF 590 3 pt very slow to lower

powerfarm · Jun 18, 2017

Hi folks,
I hope you are all keeping well.
I was using our 590 today on a sprayer, and noticed that the 3 pt lift is very slow to lower even with the weight of the full sprayer (500kgs) . The 3 pt hasn't been used in a few months but was lowering fine last time out.Its lifting good and fast. I thought maybe the drop speed knob was moved to slow but it's still in fast position.
Any ideas ??

Hi!

Have you checked that the knob really moves the lever on the right round cover under cabin? Other reason might be that transmission oil has gone thick somehow.

I have info on 500 series tractors on my homepages:

Hi,
Your homepages are very interesting, great
photos.
Yes the knob in cab does move the lever
underneath, but the lift still lowers
slowly. I must look again more closely in
case something else is not right.

The system that controls lowering speed is similar on 100 or 200 series in case you find something on them.
