3-Point Hitch 2638 Three Point Hitch

[Pkty]

When raising my brush hog up I’m unable to just ease it up slowly without it jerking up. I have the flow control set to where it lowers slow so no problem going down. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[duffer]

Haven't had the jerk-up problem. I'm assuming you checked your hydro fluid level? Sometimes the jerking is because of low fluid. My 2538 doesn't have a dip stick so I made one for it. I doubt if your 2638 has one either.

I made mine out of a long zip tie (because it's flexible), and measured down from the filler port on top of the tranny down to the site glass. Then transferred the measurement to the zip tie. Then checked it that way. I can't tell from the site glass alone if it's too high or too low. (I tend to error a little on too high)

Thanks for the reply. Fluid levels are fine. It’s done it since I got it in 2021. There’s no babying raising the brush hog, pressure seems to be too high or something. No problem with the loader. Going to contact the dealership. May I can shoot a video tomorrow and upload here if that’s possible.

Same as duffer , Easy up and down

It looks as though I just need to be able to correct/adjust the upward speed. Just trying to avoid loading this on a trailer for a two hour trip to dealership if it’s something easy. Thanks for reading.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an adjustment for the "Up" speed. Only the down with the knob on the seat base.

I believe your correct and you should know if you own a 2538. I guess I was expecting a smoother transition from not moving up to suddenly moving.

Try calling your dealer to see if there might be a setting on the main pump, or the control valve that you could adjust. Your 3 pt hitch is fed by the joy stick control valve believe it or not.

Can you feather the loader easy?

Yes I can. Thanks

This might be a long shot, but maybe you've got some kind of restriction in your joystick valve assembly, or the power beyond hose that goes back to the 3 pt hitch. Might be worth the effort to remove it and see if you can flush it out.

Problem might be with owner comparing to his last old Montana tractor. I’ll post a video of how mine operates if I can figure how to attach it.
