Tilt control adjustment

[Gaspasser]

Had a top and tilt added before winter. L6060 with Kubota dealer installation. Top cylinder moves smoothly and slowly enough to make adjustments. Tilt is all or nothing -- sudden jerking movement which over or under shoots where I want it to be. The control lever requires a fair amount of force to move as well. is there a way to adjust hydraulics so that the tilt cylinder moves more slowly? Thanks.

I would be curious if it is binding, might disconnect and see if it moves better.

Swap the top and tilt and see if anything changes.
If not you might need to add a restrictor to the tilt line.

Similar issue on my lx2620. I just assumed its the best you can get, but if theres a way to slow things down, i might give it a try.

Thanks Wolfman. I assume you are talking about swapping the hydraukic lines?

Yes, swap the lines.
But it sound like your lever needs some lubrication to get it to move smoothly as well, I'd started there.

Regardless of other issues, get flow restrictors for both cylinders.
They simply make life better.

.030 for 2" cylinders, .045 for 2 1/2" cylinders and .060 for 3" cylinders.

Thanks Mtn view. Let's assume for a moment that I am an idiot (or at least a novice with tractors) Lol. Would these go on where the hose connects to the cylinders? And i need two for each cylinder? One for each of the 2 hoses that connect to the cylinder? Do i have this correct?

 

[Kennyd4110]

Yes,
They go between the valve and the cylinder. We have an FAQ on the page Brian linked regarding the 'how many' question.

@Gaspasser - - you're relatively new on OTT.

I'll just say @MtnViewRanch and @Kennyd4110 know what they're talking about.
I haven't done business with Brian but have with Ken.

They both have some cool offerings on their respective websites. You should do some shopping.

Good guys.
