I wish I had my manual here, because I can't remember the technical name of these things. They are on the lower 3pt hitch arms of my JD 4300, and can be set to rigid or floating. They suggest floating for ground-engaging implements, and rigid for others.
I'm not sure I understand the whole point of this? Why not leave them floating all the time? And how do you define "ground-engaging"? Would this include, say, a dirt scoop, with which you just scoop up some dirt and then raise it and drive around with it in the air? Would it include a finish mower, which has wheels that ride on the ground constantly? The only implement of mine that I'm sure would be considered ground-engaging would be my tiller.
Any thoughts appreciated..
Thanks,
Bob
