I put the log splitter on the 886 for the first time today. I usually use the 4020 but it was tied up. This was the first time I had noticed that the three point arms don't go down nearly as far as the 4020. The splitter needs the arms to go within a couple of inches of the ground. By turning the turn buckles can I get the arms to go that low? I just lifted the front off the ground about a foot with the loader but it sure wasn't convenient. I tried adjusting the draft but that didn't help.
I got to thinking while I was cutting wood. When I drove bus Ford always said to park the bus for the day with the two speed axle in low range. I assume it was to keep the spring that does the switchover from stretching out of tolerance. That's all I could ever figure. Anyway, I got to thinking about the TA in an IH tractor. Is there a preference of where it should be for extended parked periods? I use mine to feed and usually prefer it in TA mode just for speed purposes and to deal with the mud (I usually have the shifters in first or second high). I know there are clutch packs there. Do they care whether it is in "under" or direct?
