TE-20 hydraulic problems

I have a TE-20 that has 3 problems with the rear hydraulic lift. If you lift the lever in the quadrant too high, the arms lift until they are trying the bend the support arms. The setting between just right and way too much up force is slight. The second problem is that if you get the rear lift to pick up an implement and turn off the tractor, the implement will slowly return to the ground. The third problem is that when you use the bush hog at a setting just above the ground, the arms will slowly start to lift the bush hog to the fully raised position which is not conducive to cutting weeds. Am I looking at 3 problems or 1 giant problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Harry & Kent Please read my last post closley. There is NO position control, but there are proper settings. Limiter devices are not necessary, or they would have been offered from Ferguson. Chains & position controls are a nice quick fix for those who dont want to fool with proper set up.

As said there is no live pto, but there is draft control,and if set up correctly, there is no need for chains. Trust me...I just went through this and my position stays where I put it with a 4' hog.

first you NEVER use you 3PT. with the upper support arms [[[[[NEVER EVER]]]]] second this is common with these old tractors. how long will it stay up 10 15 20 minn.?if it's 10 or more thats not bad. third, you don't have your bush hog set right FIRST set your bush hog on two 4x4s make sure it's level lower your tail wheel so it is on the ground and secure it so it can't move up or down on the hog. back your tractor up to it and hook it up[[[[[BUT DON'T HOOK UP THE PTO]]]]]] now this is the part you must do to a tee MAKE SURE YOUR TOP LINK ON THE HOG IS RIGIDED it can NOT move or have a slot of any kind in it so the pin that goes through must not have any movement or slop. start your tractor put your control lever the one on the right at about half way MAKE SURE YOUR PTO IS NOT HOOKED UP.start your pto and turn your top link so it will get longer one turn at a time and you will feal your lift arms lift a little with each turn because it is pushing the control spring under the seat in and that will make the arms lift and hold at that hight. YOU NEVER CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE HOG WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING the weight is on the tail wheel and the lower lift arms. LOOK AT MR.CHAPPs POST just belowe yours i got him up and cutting after you get it set put your pto on and make sure your pto DON'T hit when you raise it. if you need more help call me 1-920-446- 3296 your hog will work if it's set up right and it WILL stay where you put it give me a call

Kent;

The TE-20 does not have position control or live PTO. I used a chain to control cutting height and installed an over running clutch on the pto drive.

Marlow;

The chains worked ok fo me. I dont have to worry about that anymore. I retired,sold out and moved to the south of NM not too far from the Rio Grande. He does need an ORC tho.
