I was wondering where do you set the hand lever when you are plowing. I know when it is up to the top of the quadrant it is in the lift position and when it maxs out that it will stay there for traveling down the road. Any one out there that has ever plowed and used this setting, please email me. Thanks

All the way up raises the implement. Half way up (at about a 45 degree angle) holds the equipment at the current height but allows the pump to stop pumping (or go back to whatever mode it's in when it's not raising the implement). All the way down lowers the implement and allows it to "float" along the ground contour according to its weight. We used to leave the lever all the way down when disk harrowing and so forth unless the harrow was too deep - then we'd raise it a little and leave the lever at the half-way or 45 degree position. One warning - if your valve is worn the implement may "leak down" with the lever at the half way position.

The description Bryan gives is for when the pump is set for 'hold position'. From what I read of the original post, Plow Man wants to use the traction boost setup (?). I don't use it with mine, but from the best I remember set the plow down completely and then start forward. Raise the quadrant control until the plow 'floats' where you want it. The control position on the quadrant will depend on the soil conditions and the plow depth you want to maintain. (If the friction block is missing from the quadrant control, it may drift so keep an eye on it.)

Hope this helps.
