That is QI. If it were position control there would be numbers on the side. That's the same control I have and I have QI.

I just went to the shop and operated the lift.I have to admit I am a little perplexed at this point.In Giles pictures, particularly the one that shows the linkages. It looks to be the same as mine which is QI. For position control there has to be some sort of feedback from the 3pt arms to the control valve and I can't seem to find it in the picture.
I see the upper and lower limit stops, but no hard linkage going back to the control valve.
My question now is to Giles, exactly how does you 3pt work for position control. If you pull your 3pt lift lever 1/2 of the way to raise does the 3pt arms only move 1/2 up and then stop or do they continue to raise all the way?![]()
When it is set properly you should be able to give the lever a quick 'bump' against the inner stops and it will only move a 1/4" at the lower link end. Also you can hold it against the inner stops and it will move slowly, or hold it against the outer portion of the stops and it will move quickly.
I just went to the shop and operated the lift.
When I pull the lift leaver HALF WAY UP, the lift starts raising very slowely and continuous--moving the leaver just a small bit further causes the lift to raise rapidly.
If I have the tractor idling and the lift arms lowered to maximum I can quickly move the leaver up to the stop, and the lift will raise completely in less then 3 seconds.
As you can see from the photos, moving my lift leaver to me or away from me makes no difference.
The difference I have noticed in this Kubota, from other tractors I have owned, is that after the emplement is raised to the desired position, the lift leaver returns to neutral position. On all other tractors I have had experience with, the leaver stays in that position and moving it down results in the empliment lowering. Mine will lower only when the leaver is pushed down past the neutral position.
Is it possible that this tractor is supposed to have QI and it is not working
What has me confused is that I have read that pulling the leaver toward you and moving it will result in 1/4" of lift.
Am I assuming wrong?
