Non Functioning Draft

[Brewboy]

About 7 weeks ago, I took delivery of a L4760HST. I had a third function and draft added as dealer options. The draft has not worked since day 1. They sent a tech over the same day, but he didn't fix it. It went back to the dealer for 2 weeks and they couldn't fix it. They supposedly ordered a new draft system, but I haven't heard from them for 4 weeks. To spend almost $50K on a tractor and end up getting half a tractor is very disappointing. By half, I mean the current draft prevents the lift arms from dropping making it impossible to load or use any rear implements.

Does anyone have a similar tractor with a working draft?

I'm curious what ground engaging implements do you normally use that require use of draft control? One would think dealer technician could get 3pt draft operating correctly.

plow ! the dirt kind, to flip sod over and make neat ,tidy furrows......

blade !! to get a consistent level of material...

Where do you have your draft control lever set and you are moving the position control lever all the way towards the rear correct? If it still does not lift to the correct height then it may be installed incorrectly or the adjustments for the draft and feedback are off.

I have Kubota installed draft control on both the MX and the M and both work just fine. I added another photo to the other thread about draft control on an MX.

Adding Draft Control to MX5400 with Rear Remotes

hmm....Kubota may say not to use it with 'float' valves , is that if the draft linkage is not adjusted properly, the implement could move the linkage far enough to engage 'float' ?
