Why does the control lever disengage?
Sometimes, when operating a implement that uses hydraulics, the control lever will disengage. The implement operates correctly , but will often disengage when making minor adjustments.

I have seen some guys use a bungee to keep the lever engaged but I am hesitant.

I have a return line that dumps back into the tractor so I don’t think backpressure is an issue.
And I have adjusted flow rates and RPM. This helps but will not eliminate the lever from disengaging.
Thanks for any insight you can offer.

It is probably a self canceling detent. That’s what it does. What are you operating with it?
