I know on a CIH 485 or similar model, if you raise the 3pt all the way, you can pull the draft lever all the way back and the 3pt will raise higher. Should my Kubota 7040 do the same? I see no effect when I move the draft lever, and, was wondering if I should notice anything happening. I use the 3pt for a disc mower, a bushhog, and a disc, but don't plow, but I was just wondering if the draft lever makes any difference when raising or lowering. Thanks, Mark.

My guess is if 3pt raises higher when draft control lever is moved rearward after 3 pt control lever has been moved fully rearward is that feedback rod is not adjusted per specifications. My understanding concerning draft control lever is draft lever should be set so plow raises/lowers sufficiently to keep as close to constant load on tractor engine then not touch draft lever until a different plow is attached. Only 3pt control lever was designed to raise/lower3 pt plow
What I was describing, is how CIH's systems work. I don't know if Ford/New Holand or John Deere work that way. So, I was wondering if Kubota worked that way too. I do know how draft works when plowing; it was just a point of curiosity about pulling the handle back to make the Kubota raise higher, just like CIH. Thanks, Mark.
