The hydraulic system has down pressure, but the way many attachments are connected to it no down pressure is applied. Mower decks and snow blades have a slide that allows them to be lifted, but not forced down.# 1 Manual lift for me. But I'm used to hand lifting mounted plows and cultivators on Allis Chalmers Bs.
Gravely riders with hydraulics have down pressure, right? I can see that being useful, so I won't rule out hydraulic lift. Maybe someday in the future a rider with hydraulics will fall into my hands.
I can set my hydraulic lift back to the same setting every single time....as long as that setting is all the way at the top or all the way at the bottom.:sidelaughWhile hydraulic is able to be set anywhere, only the manuals go back to the same setting for height every time.
Because I didn't know what I was doing when I set it up.. they will show in 14 days when the poll ends.. I hope! I messed up! :sorry1:Why are the poll results hidden?
A lift assist kit and aux lift kit make all attachments easier to lift.I have a manual. I like it. Only had it a couple months so what do I know? I know with the helper springs the rotary plow and 40 inch deck hanging off the front are easy to pick up.
I know there's a really clean looking 812 with hydraulics in Roanoke, VA that I want.
I dunno, if you forced a mower deck down could you use it as a cultivator?The hydraulic system has down pressure, but the way many attachments are connected to it no down pressure is applied. Mower decks and snow blades have a slide that allows them to be lifted, but not forced down.
Too keep me from selecting the most popular answer to "fit in".Why are the poll results hidden?
