What to do if MacDon PW8 hold-down remains raised?
If the hold-down on your MacDon Farm Equipment remains raised and will not lower, check if the safety prop is engaged and disengage it. Also, ensure the hydraulic lines are connected properly and are not damaged.
What causes MacDon Farm Equipment hold-down slave cylinder to lag?
If the hold-down slave cylinder lags behind the master on lift on your MacDon Farm Equipment, it's likely due to air in the system. Bleed the cylinders to resolve this issue.
What causes MacDon PW8 Farm Equipment hold-down master cylinder to lag?
If the hold-down master cylinder lags behind the slave on descent and ahead of the slave on lift on your MacDon Farm Equipment, it could be due to air in the system, so bleed the cylinders. Alternatively, flow may be too restricted, so check the hoses and lines.
