Does anyone know if there is some kind of adjustment to how high the 3 point hitch on my 2016 cab model M7060 will lift? It will lift my rear blade only about 6" off the ground when I move the lever all the way up. My old John Deere will lift that same blade 1-1/2' off the ground. If there is no implement on the 3 point hitch and I move the lever all the way up, I can get out of the tractor, grab the lift arms and manually lift them up another 6" so there's lots of travel left in the lifting cylinders. No mention of any such adjustment in the owner's manual.

They were in "A"; I changed them to "B" but it made no appreciable difference in how high the arms would lift.
What hole are you using here for the top link?The bottom hole will get the most height on the implement
I know it doesn’t answer the question of whether there is an adjustment though. I don’t think, but I don’t know that for sure

I remember measuring the height of the lift arms off the floor some time ago for someone else...... 18" all the way up rings a bell..... of your top link is on the longer side, it could make the blade hang low too?
Others have mentioned the feedback rod adjustment, where the draft control is set could also play with the height i believe.

Follow up...just wanted to let everyone know I did what the Wolfman recommended. In the Service Manual I found a section on the 3 point hitch as to how to check the linkages to make sure they were set correctly. The section on adjusting the Position Feedback Rod was what worked for me. I needed to shorten the rod - it was longer than what was indicated in the manual - and now the 3 point hitch arms lift much higher.
I am new to the forum and to my used B7510. I purchased it from my neighbor with only 320 hours of operation. It came with a bucket, posthole auger & rear ballast. She was the second owner. The 1st owner decided it wasn't large enough for his needs. It was serviced at 300 hours so I have been basically going through and lubing everything and familiarizing myself with the operation. Have been going through the manual but can't seem to find the purpose for the two bolts on either side of the top link lube nipple. Are these intended to be removed when adding grease so you can tell when it is fully lubed?
