Woodmaxx 8600 back hoe on a tmy 494c tractor

[mblancas]

How do I turn off the draft control do I put the lever on 1 or 10 to make it not work when the Back hoe is on the tractor
The arm keep going up and it puts the hoe in a bind and I fave to cut the pin to get it off.
Thanks for the help

Usually there is a mechanical lock for the top link bracket that deactivates the draft control entirely. Have you checked into that?

I have looked through the manual and they don't even have anything on the draft controls. The knob in front of yhe seat fir the lift speed shows a off if you turn it all the way past slow not sure if that is it.

No. I'm talking about the top link bracket on the tractor side, where the top link goes. There is usually a mechanical lock there that locks the draft control regardless of the lever position.

Sometimes it's a bracket that flips, other times it's a pin that slides through. I think TYM uses a pin though.
