Posted by the Jeff Catlett channel, presenting as an owner-operator on a working cattle farm sharing candid personal observations.
There is a set screw on the other side of the housing underneath the cab, about in the middle. Backing it off slightly with an Allen wrench made the lift drop a lot faster.
Yes, the owner says it starts with no problems in cold weather, including during a real cold spell in East Tennessee, though it is parked in an insulated shop.
The owner says the cab is louder than expected, especially at low throttle tasks like mowing hay all day, and he wears headphones to reduce the noise.
It has fed hay, pulled a ten-foot disc, pulled a ten-foot corn planter, and mowed hay with a seven-foot disc mower with no problems so far.
