3 pt lifters not going down.

When you disconnected the backhoe, did you get the hydraulic connections on the tractor, back together the way they should be? Read the backhoe owners manual and it should show you how they should be when you remove the backhoe.

If you did not do this DO NOT RUN YOUR TRACTOR until you do. With most backhoes, you risk grenadeing your hydraulic pump if you run with those hoses disconnected.

thanks all. I put the 3pt on the actuator this morning and stood on the bars and it went down. Probably couldnt put enough weight on just the short actuator arms to get it to go down, seems to be working fine now.

Galen,
If the BH is not connected to a remote, what are you describing?:confused2:

In theory you could run the BH off the powerbeyond port I think but it would be much less convenient at least for hooking up and disconnecting.

Okay on the power beyond. But I thought that connection would just be a quick disconnect (QD), as in 1.:confused2:

Oh, I got it now..............one QD and two different lines to swap back in forth for two different uses.:thumbsup: Okay, I am awake now.
Had a hard time digesting it as I kept thinking about the QDs at the back of my tractor.

Powerbeyond ports are generally under the tractor so involve a bit more hassle than walking up to the rear remotes and connecting/disconnecting.

Right, that is what I was thinking. But I was visualizing someone may have a QD there for a grapple, then change it for the BH, if they didn't have remotes back there. I always thought power beyond would be hard plumbed in before this thead started.
