FatJackDurham 318 #1 Posted July 30, 2018 is there a hyraulic release valve so that you can pull a 520? Where's it at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,942 #2 Posted July 30, 2018 If it has the eaton 1100 it should roll freely. All of my eatons push with no problems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 6,777 #3 Posted July 30, 2018 My 520H tractors do not roll easily and there is no tow valve. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #4 Posted July 30, 2018 I'm with lynmor, my 520H's don't like to be towed. You can move them a bit, but they complain. No release for towing. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,679 #5 Posted July 30, 2018 You can move it around in the shop or load it up without a problem but I wouldn't toy it very far without a dolly under the rear tires. Too many internal parts turning without lubrication. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #6 Posted July 30, 2018 As the operators manual states as well as a decal that "used" to be on the unit..."HAND PUSH ONLY DO NOT TOW" DAMAGE MAY RESULT!...now let's say you get yourself stuck , yes you can tow it enough to get the unit out of a jam, Jeff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #7 Posted July 30, 2018 I did read in the manuals that a 518 Hydro (1100 Eaton) could be pushed easier IF you put the motion control lever in the fast forward position. Sure was hard to load with 2 flats in the front and the rears sliding....THEN I read the manual! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 6,777 #9 Posted July 31, 2018 I tried putting the motion control lever in various positions to help with towing and found no position helps very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,942 #10 Posted July 31, 2018 Brake maybe too tight or dragging? Just a thought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
