Don't know if you got your question answered, but I'll take a stab at it. The swivel should be set up so that it engages the mower frame when you are lifting, so you can lift the mower off the ground for transport. With it hooked in that manner, I move the 3 point arms until the the mower is level, then adjust the top link so the swivel engages the mower at that point. So from that point, if you lift the 3 point, the mower lifts off the ground; if you lower the 3 point, the front of the mower goes down. I've done a lot of mowing, and keep my right hand on the 3 point control- if the front of the tractor goes down in a hole, I push the 3 point lever forward, then pull back when the rear wheels hit the same hole. With practice, you can get a pretty even mow job even on fairly rough land.
