3-Point Hitch 135 Massey 3pt hitch not lifting more than two inches.

My 135 Massey 3pt hitch will not lift the 825 lb. chipper. Is there a simple adjustment? Thank You Lawrence

Is your pump putting out the correct pressure? I would first check that before trying to adjust any linkage. You can check the pressures at the top cover. Check out the thread in the Massey classic/vintage section titled hydraulic pressure and external hydraulic feed posted by oilystairs. Hutch who goes by shona13 replied on May 29th, explains where to check the pressures and what size the fittings required. Is the fluid level low? dipstick is on right hand side behind your foot with the draft response lever.

When was the last fluid change?

Fluid is new last fall and has been topped up. The fel works well. What is the lifting capacity of the 135 3pt hitch? Thank you L

Is the FEL running off the tractor hydraulics or does it have a front mounted pump with the hydraulic tank in the loader frame?
