Any chance there is a little ice in it ? If so get it warmed up and drain all fluid. Disconnect the lower hoses and run the plow back and forth by hand to expel all fluid in pistons and refill.

I said it’s a long shot. Does the manual have a troubleshooting section. I’m sure it’s something simple

Does the pump run one direction to supply pressure to one cylinder and then the switch reverses the polarity and run the other way to angle the other way? It doesn’t get hydraulic flow from the RTV?

It has its own hydro tank..nothing from the RTV at all. I'm not sure how the pump functions, but I assume it may reverse polarity..but not sure

Yes. I was thinking it got flow from the RTV. Your unit has a electric pump that reverses. Take the lines loose and see if it is pumping both ways

I'm thinking it has to be a solenoid issue. Just don't know which one or how to trouble shoot it.

I have a Kubota RTV 1100 with the Kubota electric over hydrolic plow. It goes up and down, and angles left but will not angle back to the right. Nothing is bent and all the electric connections are good. It worked a month ago when I put it on..then today I went to move it and it would not angle.. any ideas ?
VERIFY that ALL electrical connections and ALL hydraulic connections are as they should be.
It would appear that one or more electrical or hydraulic connection(s) is/are compromised.
Mine works as expected after owner installation.

Everything is as it should be. Pump has power and will raise / lower, turned to the left but not to the right. Pump runs but won't move the blade to the right. No leaks or wire damage anywhere.
So I went over every inch of the wiring and connections. They all looked good but I still took every one apart scuffed and reattached them. Took the trailer plug out, scratched both the plug and terminals to make sure they were clean and plugged it back in. Still no good... then went to the back where the 10 amp fuse is and checked that. Fuse was good. .. then tried to move the plow...and it now works. ... I don't think it was any of the electric connections, I think it has a solenoid hanging up and maybe removing and replacing the fuse may have done something.. idk...but it now works. Go figure.
