Hello. Looking to use our 8440 as an auger tractor to run an 85’ Brandt 12”. Problem is, it articulates when starting. Is this normal? Can we lock out the hydraulics with hydraulic locks? Something else? Also, backing up in reverse, A1 is very fast and it would seem difficult to get into position without riding the clutch. The clutch light comes on within 3 seconds if you do so. Any help appreciated.

Sorry. It is a Brandt 1380xl auger. Thanks.

 

It’s standard for jd tractor every 30 or 40 series does it we got

 

Thanks. Although not the rely I was looking for 🙏

 

There are locks available but I think they're a dealer special tool. It is only a piece of 1" flat bar if I remember right. Been awhile since I've had a need for one. You could put cylinder stops on the steering cylinders as well. That would be the easiest. Taking out the rear pin would be a pain but it would be effective.

 

Hydraulic psi rated ball valves on the cylinders?
