My quest for "Grand" 3 point performance from my "economy" tractor. The L3400

I guess you could think of it as analog while the L3400 seems low resolution digital.

LOL! I wouldn't have minded the digital if it was sampled a 2x the highest frequency

That is the exact same fluid I have in mine...

Yeah, kind of figured that one was too good to be true but I'm still looking forward to hear from ctpres. He did write in his post, "EXCEPT the rear three pt jerk while lifting is GONE GONE." Maybe he stumbled onto something with his axle work and we can figure out what it was.

Perfect description ccsial!

Good news, ctpres did respond to my PM! It appears he has been busy but I get the impression we'll hear from him soon. I'll let him explain when he can, I didn't really get any details about the hitch yet anyway. Thanks ctpres looking forward to your input.

Good , can't wait to hear what he did to make it smooth .

Not sure what happened to ctpres, thinking maybe he's had second thoughts about posting. Maybe our answer is in that.

Really expected to hear from him by now.

To bad , was hoping for another perspective on a fix .

Actually, even if he told us "oops, it didn't fix it that much" that is fine!!! just knowing that it did or did not do anything, would be another piece of the puzzle. We just want to know.

I'm still wondering if some are jerky and some are not or if the jerkyness just does not affect most of the people since it might be their first tractor. I've used plenty of tractors and this is far from "standard" and I would NOT even call it an "economical" tractor. POS tractor has this kind of valve. POS = Pretty obviously substandard.

Thanks for clearing up what a "POS" is! I'm only a few miles down the road from you, yet around here is usually stands for a totally different phrase.

Surprisingly, our local version of "POS," being a noun, may aptly describe the valve.

teg, I agree with your analogy of POS , but have to side with EE_Bota on its meaning .
Like most this is not my first ride on a tractor , or using a BB to grade dirt with , have operated from a Bobcat to a Dozer .

Would like to add , never dawned on me to check a 3 point hitch for jerkiness , never seen one do it , they have been making fluid smooth 3 point hitches for a long time .
