3PH slow to come up

Coyote machine · Jul 10, 2011

Glad to be of help. Loop needs to be long enough to go between A and B inputs on back of tractor, probably a couple of feet of hose so it can bend without kinking.
I think your speed control valve is faulty; not the knob, but the valve itself.

What does this mean?: "They have been clear as far as this problem is from day one."

Good luck with outcome of this problem- I'm sure your dealer can fix it for you.

Yeah I thought that might not make sense, but I am typing on an iPad with one finger and it is a pain to edit.
I just meant I have kept the dealer informed about the problem from the beginning.

Is there an access plate that would allow you to see where the speed knob shaft enters the valve which controls the 3PH? If so you could verify if the knob/shaft is actually turning in the valve.

No access panel I could find. The best I could see is a shaft runs directly from the speed knob straight to the top of the case. It seems to be connected and there is no linkage or anything where it might have come loose. I could not see or feel if it was actually turning anything in the case.

I just thought I would give update of the resolution of this problem. The shop expected to bring the tractor in verify a bad valve, return the tractor to me and pick it up again when part came in. Sounded good to me. The delay was all on my side as I really didn't need the 3pt hitch working over the winter, but I did want to low with it. Anyway, they returned the tractor with 3pt working as it should. They said that a small piece of seal, I think like neoprene washer, had been pinched off during assembly and was intermittently blocking valve functioning.
My service center here took care of everything in timely fashion at no expense to me. I am pretty happy with outcome.

I'd like to slow mine down (not as slow as yours was), but don't see any way to do it. When I raise it, it leaps up. It is difficult to control smoothly and I would like better control when I am using the box blade, scraper or the sprayer. I would like it to go up at the same speed as I have adjusted it to go down.

The 3pt lift lever control arm has a zerk fitting to grease the linkage on it's pivot shaft and you can also adjust the tension for the arm. You can see this by looking from the back of the tractor. I have mine (CK30hst) set so it will hold position with vibration but is still reasonably easy to move in small increments.
