3 point lift height

I find that occasionally I drag the back edge of my carryall. On level ground I have a measured 11.5 inches from ground to the bottom of the frame. Front edge closest to the the 3point is half that. Picture with quart oil bottle for reference.


Does my hook up look OK?

 

Maybe it's one of those mind tricks but if you lengthen the top link does that make the front end lift higher and the back lower?

Are you sure that's all the lift you have?

Other option would be to drill or blow holes lower on the frame and lower the pins about 6"s!

 

It would definitely help if the pin holes were lower.

 

You won’t gain much if any front height from extending your 3rd arm. It will level it out the platform when lifted but the back will tilt down when lowered.

I am not familiar with those NH tractors ? But it doesn’t appear to be lifted all the way up. I agree that lowering the holes would be the best option, if it’s fully raised in the pic.

 

You could buy another adjustable arm for the other side of the 2pt & crank them both up to gain yourself some lift height.

 

Based on the lift control it's raised all the way.

 

I know on some larger tractors you can actually move the 3pt lift arm past the stop by removing a guide that keeps the lever enclosed in the slot. I gained almost 12” of lift on a 1066 IH & 806 IH.

Can show a pic of your lift lever ?

 

Just what I was thinking too...often times the lever can be pulled to the side to bypass the adjustable stop...if it has one.
And I agree that it looks like the arms aren't as high as I would expect for full lift.
Is there any adjustment holes for the lower 2 pins on the carrier?

 

You could drill another hole here on each side of both arms. Mine already has 3 sets of holes there

 

Wrong carryall for a small tractor like that I think. Take it off, the lower the 3 point fully on flat ground. Pin height should be about an inch above the full down height of the arms. Adjust center link accordingly for level.

 

It does look like a full size carrier...probably not hard to mod to move the lower 2 attachment points...even if it means having 2 new brackets welded on.

Looks like moving the mountings on the carryall would be the easiest route to go.

 

Many of the sub compacts have limited category 1 three point hitches. They don't lift as high as normal category 1.

I agree moving the pin locations would probably be the best solution if you want to keep the carry all.

 

In looking at your pictures I noticed how dry everything looks. A few drops of oil on pivots, pins etc. will help everything stay free and lesson corrosion.

 

Did I miss something. I do t think he said what tractor he has.... Or was it super sleuth stuff like signature line or another post maybe?

 

Yup

 

It was blue, I was guessing.

 

What happens if you put the lift arm on the right side on the left side and the one on the left side on the right ?

 

There is a bolt behind the lift stop lock on mine. I'm going to look further into it's necessity.
