Now I have a question:
On my YM240 I can feather the lift up and down to keep the box blade relatively even as I make a first pass over rough ground.
But on the YM186D it goes up so quick that it gets higher than I want instantly. Fiddling with the drop rate valve, I can't find a setting to grade earth smoothly.
1) is this normal, or is something misconfigured? 2) if it is normal, what technique do people use to grade evenly?
I'm about to put trainer wheels behind the 186D's blade so I can get some work done!
LOL
I felt the same way at first,
I set mine to fall from full lift to bottom in 3 seconds, I can then feather back up just enough to float at a level for smoothing, it seems as though it has to go all the way down and bottom out first before the blade can be set and stay at any certain level, how ever if i stop it on the downfall to try and set a desired level it will soon try to return back up slowly,
I do remember before I started adjusting on it when it was at free fall/ gravity fall and would raise quickly, it would do as your are saying, I could never get it to stay at any particular position it would always be on a gradual slow lift , I kept on adjusting until I got it where I had control of bringing it back up just at where I need it and it stay there, but it does have to go all way down first,
this adjustment would be somewhere 1/3rd or at about 2:00 on the lever,
Carey, Yeah I remember and do know where Galilee rd is. about 4 miles from where I am,
Ya know with all this rain we been having could be causing mildew... I hear breathing mildew & mold spores can cause memory loss
if this rain keeps up I'm going to forget how to get to this great website,
