I think you'll need to adjust the lift spring.

ckr74 - I agree thats what needs to be done, any idea on how to do that? I was looking at it today and it was unclear to me as to how to "adjust" the spring. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'd expect the procedure to be covered in the Conquest operator's manual.

If you don't have the manual, and you should for a tractor with the Conquest's capabilities, you might be able to download it at the Simplicity web site.

If not then where's the nearest Simplicity dealer?

justalurker, thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious, you are right, its in there.
