question about the 3pt on 3000 series tractors

[JD 4520]

There is a float and a solid position on your 3 point. It is manual. It is well described in the manual. Basically the adjustment is on the lower arms on each side. You will want them both to be in float or fixed.

Basically the adjustment is on the lower arms on each side. You will want them both to be in float or fixed.

That's a ground-following mechanical feature of the vertical links, it's related to tasks like mowing. OP question is whether there is a hydraulic function that will hold an implement at a fixed height without floating when it hits a high spot. Answer is still position control.

I do however envy you for having draft control on that 4520. I had it on my last two tractors, but it's unfortunately unavailable on the 3x20 series.

Did you - or did you not - learn something about your new tractor? If yes, there's no need to use ignorant and question in the same sentence. Lighten up.

Yes I learned. I was referring to my upright post toward Greg.
