3-Point Hitch Kioti CS2410 3 pt hitch adjustment

[nknelsen]

I have a 2014 kioti CS2410. Best tractor I've ever owned so far. But I do have one question for someone that knows more then I. Is the 3point hitch adjustable for height? I have a mowing deck height adjustment on the left side which works good but the three point hitch goes all the way down when I drop the mowing deck using the up/down lever on the left even when I have the mowing deck height adjustment set high.

Right after I purchased the tractor I was cutting grass while towing a seeder/airater using the ball hitch and when I went to lift the mowing deck there was a loud bang from the left hitch arm getting caught up in the tongue of the seeder.

Did I break something or was the three point hitch never adjustable for height using the MMM height control?

Thanks in advance for everyone's advice.

Older thread but no response. I have the same issue and hoping for some advice. I can't believe this is the design and can't be adjusted.
Hope someone can help??

How about limit chains... If your hydraulics don't allow for a height lock, next best thing may be limit chains...

I put limit chains on my MF GC 1715 to keep ballast box I made from dragging on ground ......

This "kit" is available online...

All it takes is about 5-6 feet of chain and some hooks and eye hardware... And it is adjust able one chain link at a time...

Thanks Dale
Just back up from the barn and that is what I did. Just seems strange it works that way. Previously I purchased a Protero Pto bagger - real nice unit but very large and I had the same problem with the bottom dragging on the lawn until I put a limiter on - ended up selling the bagger.

Sent email to local Kioti dealer for some tips - I didn't buy it from them, but go by their shop often, so might stop in and chat about it. They also sell Kubota - I might take a look to see if a similar size unit does the same thing. For the money, I think the mid, rear lifts should be separate.

I appreciate your response and can make this work, although not real impressed with the design.
Take care,
Dal

Limit chains may not be elegant, but your 3PH will drop to same place every time!
