Hi
It's my first time using the front dual control on our MF 7495. I have managed to set the delay between lowering the front linkage and then the rear linkage. But no matter how I set it I cannot manage to get a delay between lifting the front linkage and the rear linkage.
As soon as I hit the lift switch, both linkages lift at about the same time.

Can anybody point out where I'm going wrong.
TIA

Do you not set it all up in headland management on the data tronic screen. I haven’t done it for ages but presume you start the sequence with lift front, then either a time or distance delay, then lift back, then do you put a pause in the sequence until you press hms again which the first command is drop front then time or distance delay then drop rear linkage.
of course you can put any other commands of revs, gears etc into the sequence where you want to.
I’m assuming you have a datatronic screen to set it all up as I don’t know how you’d do it if not.

We have the datatronic screen. It has a dual control function that is supposed to control both linkages by just using the rear lift switch. All set through the screen. Don't know if I'm missing something though.

Sorry. I haven’t set anything up on dual control or headland management for a long while and can’t remember.

May or may not be useful but Farmer phill did a walk through of setting it up on his 6499 last year for the front mower?

Thanks for the help. It looks like we are going to have to use the headland management function rather than dual control.
