Paging Riverhino or other C5264 Owner

[Dave5264]

Hi there, anyone with C5264, how does that small lever on the Right Rear of the tractor work? (faces bacwards, seems to be some sort of Draft control for the 3pt hitch, but from the Romanian translated manual Im lost.

If i puill the lever up, it seems to drop the attachment right to the ground no matter what.

with it down, it seems to rely on the 3pt depth control lever more?

im new to Draft control and when to use what....Help

riverhino, have you tried that yet ?

In past history of selling new Romanian, Long tractors,the hydraulic lift mode lever, that you are referring to is suppose to be used in the more horizonal pisition for position control. The up position was to be draft control mode. In using Long tractors for several years in the field, we always used in postion control mode only. Also from past experience, the wedge between the top link anchor hole bracket and the top cover; remove it and use it for a paper weight. It was a lock out for the top link movement. Never stop the movement of the top link bracket.
This is information is for 3 point hitch tools only. All 3 points connected to a lifted inplement.
Hope this helps.

sorry, Dave - I just now saw your post.
Not sure what lever you're referring to; I'll check it out tonight (if I can remember) and see.

BTW - how has yours been holding up? I am quite pleased with my 5264 - the tractor continues to start faster than any diesel I've had and no leaks, etc. that I was sure I'd be finding and have to tend to.
Had to add a bracket to support the loader joystick - the "factory" one does not provide enough support and allowed the joystick base to swing back and forth. Joystick gots to have a solid base, incredible the Koyker folks, good as they are, didn't point it out.
Other than that - I swore I'd NEVER buy a GREEN tractor, but gotta say this Montana has made me glad I did.

Still Happy with mine too....starts amazing, no matter how long it sits.

the only issue i had was the PTO selector wouldnt engage at Engine spped (to the left)...dealer came out and fixed it under warranty.

I find the rear end a bit Noisy in reverse (if im in any gear other than 1st).. do you find that or not?

not had any issues with the FEL joystick, its solid and working well.
