I have a new, to me MF 180.The lift arms raise by themselves as I'm mowing.It has draft control,and I think I set it up correctly for mowing.The operator manual is a bit confusing about this,and contradicts itself on some points.Maybe I'm reading it wrong.Can anyone help?Thanks.

Hi Vince Am I undstanding you right? Your lift is creeping up when you have the out side lever Draft control lever in the fully raised position and you are using the inside lever Position control lever? If that is your problem. Dose the bottom part of your quadant have pressure control on the inside quadrant plate? With this information I may be able to help you on this.

Vince,

You have the quadramatic control lever system. With draft control and position control.

The outer lever is the Draft control lever. It needs to be placed at the bottom of it's movement range. It should be labeled Position control.

The inner lever is called the hydralever. The inner hydralever should opperate in the upper half of it's movement range. This puts it in the lift system in "Position control" and the lift should respond to the various settings.

If you have the inner lever in the full back position then you are in transport mode and the lift arms should fully raise as you describe.

If your tractor has position control, that"s what you need to use for mowing to hold the position of the mower. Draft control is used for plowing. If you have only draft control then there is a proceedure to set the mower up using the draft control. Look in the archives. A guy by the name of marlowe wrote the proceedure up.

Thanks Jerry I'll look for the post.I set the draft control to the raised position and use the inner quadrant lever for position control.The manual says"The inner quadrant lever may not be used to raise ,lower and operate 3 point hitch implements that are not draft controlled."A misprint maybe?
