Hello everyone! I am brand new to to the wonderful world of owning my own tractor and this site. I first want to give a shout out to 85Hokie whom is a very good friend of mine and was a big determining factor in me becoming the owner of a 2006 B7510 DT. This is my first ever tractor and the whole shopping experience taught me that if you don't know what to look for when purchasing a tractor then you should ask someone that does. Thanks again 85Hokie.
Okay now to move on to what my issue is. With a 3 point blade attached the PTO raises the implement just fine; however, when I lower the blade it is going down at a snails pace. I understand about the knob adjustment that controls the rate of descent but I have it wide open and still it barely crawls back to the ground. I know that this is the best of the two evils (falling very, very slow vs very fast or just slamming down) however I feel that I am missing something that needs to be checked or serviced. The tractor has been sitting for about an year. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks Kenny
