Case IH 5140
Hello, I'm new to this forum. I am a new at farming, so my tractor knowledge is very limited.

I own a 1993 Case IH 5140. Bought it about 3 years ago. A few weeks back the 3-point hitch started giving me problems. It will go up, but it does not go down. Here s the specific behavior.

When I have the airblast speed sprayer hooked to the 3-point hitch, it can easily lift the sprayer. But when lowering the sprayer, the hitch will only go down with the weight of the sprayer, and as soon as the sprayers rests on the floor, it will not continue going down. So I need to 2 guys literally "jump" on the hitch until it is low enough to disconnect it from the sprayer.

Would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this issue.
