Hello,
I have a 2004 Fendt 209P. Everytime when I start the tractor, the lift arms raise immediately to the top max position. I have the selector switch in the 'stop' position. I read the manual and when the selector switch is in the 'stop' position, the lift arms should not move except by the external control on the rear fender. After start-up, everything works fine. I did do some investagation and if you restart immediately after shutting off the tractor, the lift arms don't raise. After being shutoff for 1 minute, it raises abotu 6 inchees. 2 minutes it raises 18 inches. 4 minutes or longer, it raises to the top. So i'm thinking a valve or solenoid is leaking through? Is that possible.
I appreciate any help you can provide or ideas.
Thanks
Steve
