CK3510 se 3 point hitch does not rise

[roscoe7803]

I was blowing snow and raising and lowering the rear snowblower ok and then the 3 point hitch would not rise. So i had to dragged the rear snowblower along the ground into the shed.
The front bucket raise up and down ok.
I thought it might be hydraulic fluid so I added some. No change. 3 point hitch and snowblower do not rise, just sits on the floor with no movement.
I don't see how I could have done anything wrong. It was working fine I was raising and lowering the snowblower removing snow from my drive way and it just would not raise.
Tractor was purchased April of 2022.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Did you read the dipstick before adding oil? Never add unless the level indicates that you need to add. Where is your 3pt speed dial located? Is it possible that you hit it with your heel and turned it shut? It has a rabbit and turtle on it and adjusts the speed of raising/lowering the 3 pt. My CK30HST has the dial near my foot and sometimes I bump it…

Any leaks?

3 point speed knob (flow control) turned off.

Any change in motor load when operating 3 point hitch?

Rear remotes work?

Check if you accidentally hit the remote lever into detent. Make sure all the remote lever are in the middle position.

The knob only adjusts the speed the 3 pt lowers. If it's already on the ground, won't have much effect in this case.

I figured it out. The CK3510se has a hydraulicd pto. Ther is a toggle switch on the front dash that toggles between electrical and manual.

I must have hit it with my knee as I was backing up blowing snow.

I flipped the switch and pesto it is now working.

I thank all for your input.

The best problems are the simple ones.

Glad you got it fixed but am I the only one wondering how a PTO switch inadvertently turned On would make the 3 pt not working? When clearly both things need to be able to work together.

The PTO clutch pack and modulator valve works of the power steering pump, while the 3 pt works of the main hydraulic pump. Can't quite understand how one would affect the other.

The Manual and Auto position of the PTO switch only defines how the PTO works. In Manual, it will be always spinning. In Auto, it will automatically turn Off and On based of the height of the 3pt. When 3 pt is lifted, it turns the PTO off.

I think Kioti uses a 'Live' PTO. Which is, I believe kind of an oddball system. Most everybody else uses an electronic.

I'm not trying to answer your question, more like I'm asking, not answering.

I did check the manual for the CK3510. It's the same system as mine.

Wet clutch pack for the PTO, controlled via a solenoid valve, which is then actuated by the PTO switch. There is also a spring actuated brake on the clutch pack.
