New Holland Workmaster 65 3 pt hitch wont go down

[shinedawg]

I have both levers all the way forward (down) and have played with the Lift o Matic switch repeatedly and nothing works. Tractor still in warranty but mechanic at dealership is backed up and of course I need tractor now! HELP!

Do you have an implement on it now? If not it may not go down without some down pressure. You could also check the rate of drop adjustment and see if it is closed off too much.

The rate of drop adjustment, when closed, can prevent the three point arms from lowering. It is frequently between the operator's feet. Check your manual.

Put some pressure on it see if it goes down, if that does not work check the following, as stated above check the adjuster valve, check that draft lever is all the way down and finally check the linkages from the draft and position levers.

The newer Workmaster 55-65-75 series does not have a manual drop valve adjustment.

Welcome to TBN.

As stated in other ‘Fiat’ based powertrain New Hollands such as T4s with this problem, put a bunch of weight on the hitch.
You might also manually move the roller lever for the hitch control.
