White 2-105 vs. 3615 Bushhog batwing

Kccca · Sep 2, 2016

Still having issues with raising and lowering the wings on the bushhog. The cylinders 'lock up' when extended or retracted all the way, ie: bottomed out. If I loosen the fittings at the cylinder/ hose connection and let the pressure off, you can "feather" the raise/ lower lever and they will raise or lower provided you don't extend/ retract all the way. If you do the hoses just 'jump', like the cylinders are locked. Last weekend I put new cylinders and 1/2 inch hoses on both wings.........same thing! I can hook the planter or 7 ft. Cutter to the tractor and they raise/ lower fine. I put new male tips on the hoses (pioneer) but still have the what appears to be, the original female couplings on the tractor. Could there be some sort of pressure/ detent issue with the control valve? Then again, all worked OK on the planter and 7 ft. Cutter.
Open to suggestions...........let 'me come!

Perhaps for other reasons I too struggled with the factory remotes and a Rhino batwing mower (all three cylinders are one way). For one the tractor had only 2 circuits and neither had a float function. For relatively little $, I plumbed in a 2 circuit Prince valve with float on both. I run the main mower raise & lower with one of the factory remotes (no float needed), and the wings with the Prince valves. Works better than new. All required parts came from Surplus Center - http://www.surpluscenter.com/.

These are two way cylinders. The extension port on each cylinder is connected with a tee and a single hose plugs in the top port on the tractor. The the retracting ports are plumed together and and this hose is plugged into the bottom port. Push the control lever forward to extend cylinder and pull back to retract. The raise/lower cylinder is alone way plugged into the bottom port on the other hydraulic circuit. It works fine. I've even tried switching the hoses top to bottom and plugging into the other circuit".....no change.

I'm thinking of adding a triple remote on one of my Olivers thru the power beyond,don't know if you could do that with yours or not.

Have you tried it on another tractor?
