Adding hydraulic top link I want to have slow precise control. Good idea to add a needle valve or .030 flow restrictor? Add to one hose or both?

What size would you recommend? Cylinder diameter, rod diameter and pressure?

This is going to get real confusing but hear me out. I like to learn and maybe someone can learn from my experience. I bought my L3901 summer of 2021. one of the first things I did was install a Land Pride third function valve for a grapple. I hooked it up exactly per the instructions tying it...

I think I have it figured out. Looking at hose connections on the tractor the upper right is supply hose (orange dot). Which goes to the P (pressure) port on the loader valve (also marked orange paint) The upper left hose is return (green dot). it comes from the BY (beyond) port on the...

Correct Also, With the tractor running the 3 point will oscillate (move up/down about an inch) Rapidly with flow control valve open. It will calm down as you close the flow control valve.

Correct

I did this test and 3 point stays up with the flow control valve closed (in all the way in) and the tractor off. Could air in the system cause the issue? I recently had a line off.

I noticed the 3 point on the L3901 oscillates when at idle no implements attached. Also noticed with tractor off the 3 point drops with the control lever in up position.

Couldn't resist.

Will it work behind a L3901?

Hey all, I have a Land Pride Quick Hitch. I come up with the 25" retracted length because if I go shorter the hitch will hit the fender lights with lift arms are all the way up. Say the top link is disconnected the hitch will only lay over so far before it binds on the lower lift arms. (top...

Looking for a cylinder for top link on a L3901 I'm looking for double acting, 2" bore, 25" retracted length with 7" stroke. Everything I find has a longer stroke. Do you just get a cylinder with the unusable longer stroke?

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

I’m not going to adjust anything yet. I’m just learning the system and seeing what could have changed. Im an industrial mechanic and old farm boy growing up on Wild Rice farm so I have some mechanical ability. I’m interested it picking up a service manual. Any good place to get one other then...

Thanks Dan The control lever has full travel. All linkage looks proper and tight. I do see there is a little play in the roll pin where the control lever attaches to the main shaft and other connections. I’m thinking a little slop in all the connections preventing full travel of...
