I have a brand new X748. It must've been one of the last ones off the assembly line... I decided to buy the Arthur Randall 12 guage plow which came the other day.
I wanted to share a couple things I found plus get some input on my situation...
First I had to alter one side of the "hitch" that couples the plow to the tractor. It required minor grinding to get the pins to line up. No big deal, but bottom line... It didn't fit out of the box...
The big issue I had was with the hydraulic hoses.
There is no info on where to put the hoses for correct lever operation.
I figured out at some point the bottom hydraulic lever has a float position so that would be plow up and down... Right?
I think... If I pull on the handle the plow should raise. If I push the handle the plow should lower...
I think... If I pull the top handle the plow should angle right. If I push the top handle it should angle left... Right?
Problem is; the hoses are too short for this to happen. They reach if everything is backwards...
Thoughts?
