OK guys, I have officially won the Dump A of the day award Now I'm going to be really upset if anyone tries to steal it from me!

The remote lever works just fine. I must have have my head on backwards and was, in fact, using the draft control lever in the cab. After having it explained that this was just a mechanical linkage, I quickly discovered the error of my ways.

Thanks for the info - problem solved.

We take turns with that award just sign it and wait for the next guy.

I feel better now, too. As you had the heck confused out of me. I am glad it wasn't anything major. And we appreciate you coming back here and telling us you discovered your error. Ain't nothing wrong with that.:thumbsup:

Last week I used my DK45 HST for a community project with a borrowed post hole digger. I have had this tractor for 2 years and never had an issue with the 3ph. This is the first time I have used the PTO to do real work. We have a lot of rocks up here so I used low RPM's (1200-1400) to minimize any damage. I knew I was putting out low gpm and the 3ph and pto would be fighting for flow. No real issues digging holes except anticipated fight for flow. What made me think "Now What" was when I unhitched the post hole digger and could not get my 3ph to lower with no weight on it. Both levers beside seat in full down position, so aft lever useless trying to lower 3ph. Would raise it, but not lower it. I had to stand on 3ph to lower it. Yes I played with the speed control below the seat and it is now somewhere in the middle. Long story short, once I forced 3ph to lowest position, everything is back to normal. I do not have a service manual, are there good hydraulic diagrams in it? Egbart, I suspect we have a Stop/Check valve not doing it's thing. You are under warrantee so badger the dealer until it is fixed.

So we know what happened with the OP's tractor, but what about your's?
