Leveling Implements side to side easy way?

KubotaBling · Oct 31, 2003

Any ideas on easy way of leveling implements i have some that seem to tilt when i pick them up when i put a level on the middle and level it out.

When i drop it to go to work the implement is sideways tiller and blade digs in one side and the other. It's getting old swapping between the 2 and taking all day to get it right thanks.

There are lower pin adjustments that will take away the ability to drop or float implements. If you go to the owners manual they normally talk about it in the hitch section.

Watch the tire pressures. Tires on front should have equal, tires on rear should have equal pressure.

I simply park over a flat area (or a concrete slab) and lower my implement close to the ground. I level it side-to-side with the jack screw. I think all tractors have this ability.

I have it in the Locked position that is what has me baffled i'm now thinking the tiller frame is bent. Thanks for the info.

It's only your tiller you have a problem with, or are there other rear implements that do the same thing?

The tiller is the main problem the grader blade i finaly got it to work good. The tiller is tilling a good 3-4" lower than the other side. I've tried turning the lift arm one extreme to the other with no results.

Measuring from a spot on the tractor, as opposed to the ground or tiller, are both lift arms at about the same height?

This is an odd one.....

Be careful as some plows like the Dearbourne that I pull automatically put the correct tilt to the plow. Leveling the plow would defeat the proper angle.

Is the gear box, or drive chain on the side that tilts lower? Could be the whole rig is out of balance.

The drive parts are on that side. It has the gearbox in the center then feeds power to the left side down into i think a 3 gear side box to the roller assembly.

I measured and the right side is about 1/2" or so lower than the other side. I'm going to add about 200# to the other side and see if that helps.

Does most tillers not till straight on a gently sloping area it'd say 2-3% slope?
