Got an issue with my 3 furrow reversible, its struggling to turnover and will go halfway then stop. I can get it to turnover if I work the spool back and forth slowly. Will it be a bit of dirt stuck in it? Or should I try adjusting the screw?

Thanks

Got a new valve from flowfit for £160 specced for the size of ram on the plough,
Its still the same if not worse now[emoji85]. Tried adjusting the set screw and the P.R. Valve but it wont go over centre?‍♂️[emoji24]. I can get it to flip over with the old valve if you back and forward a bit with the spool lever.

Anyone any ideas? [emoji51]

Used to find that working the spool to turn the plough over then flicking the lever the opposite way when the plough just overcentred was the best way to get them to turn over once they start that.
Get good at it after a while and forget about it.
It could be a bit of dirt somewhere but usually just the valve worn out and internal leakage.
New ones not cheap and difficult to source non original but sometimes better than the hassle and frustration.

What about the tractor valve, try a different one
Ram problem?
.....with the seals inside the ram .

or maybe a lot wear /slop on the pins ?
