Gen3 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 What would cause my hydraulic implement to chatter when lowering? Disk, planter, drill, all will drop then stop then drop then stop... no issue with 3pt or when raising hydraulic implement, only when lowering...

stronger800 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Yes. We have only one tractor with them, 6 without, I’m sure they serve a purpose in some applications but I’ve heard of guys on here removing them to fix the issue you are experiencing. I’m assuming your 966 has always acted like that? Or, if it’s something new, idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen3 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 So, open up the valve and take all the guts out? it just started acting up this spring with a no till grain drill on it and I just wrote it off as something wrong with the rented drill.... now it is doing it on my 480 disk and never used to...

stronger800 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I don’t know what’s inside of that block or if it can even be opened up, but you can remove it easy enough and install two fittings and then hose,to replace your steel tubes. I don’t think there is a fitting/elbow combination that would let you re use your tubes. The elbow fittings to use hose though are common and that route is pretty affordable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stronger800 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Your welcome. If you try to modify your check valves so that they are non-restrictive, please let me know how that goes. I have a set that I removed years ago, but forgot to try to look at them today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen3 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Will be a winter project when I rebuild the shifter linkage... I am planning to just remove the guts of the valve so that I can keep the original plumbing.... will let you know what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
