My Kubota don't want to move (up or down) the 3Point hitch

[ionstegarus]

Hello,

I have a Kubota GL35 and it don't want to move (up or down) the 3Point hitch.
The 3 point hitch remain up.

Can you tell me what should I test? and how can I test?
What can be wrong?

Also, the command of the hydraulic cylinder (which is located on the right side of the tractor) working normally.

Please ask me if you have more information like explain or pictures regarding this issues.

Thank you very much,

Check for a relief valve adjustment knob, typical located on or near the floorboard between your feet. If you have one, it adjusts the lowering speed of the hitch, and may be preventing the hitch from lowering.

the feedback rod on my b7800 was jammed when I bought it used. don't know where it would be on a GL35.... also I don't know how cold it is where you are but the 3pt hitch is gravity down and pressure up so maybe you just need weight on the hitch to make it go down. try the simple stuff first. Like RJ said the knob would be most likely culprit.

This knob is open

The knob is open.

Looks like you’re asking yourself “what’s up?”
So the 3-Pt hitch moves down by gravity. So, if you have a snowblower on it it will go down. Moving the lever will make it go down but you have to have the speed adjustment set to open…which only adjusts the down speed. ( knob usually below the front of the seat) So if no equipment on the 3-pt it might need a friend or two to force it to drop… or leave it overnight with the lever in the drop position. If no luck there might be something else going on
