3 Point Hitch slow and unintended dropping

[Tx Jim]

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same issue.

I'll suggest to begin your hyd repair procedure by replacing 3 pt rockshaft piston seals.

Thank you. This is consistent with what I am seeing and getting for responses.

Yes I did. Totally my ignorance, there was no issue at all. What basically happened is that I had changed my top link's attachment position. There's 3 options (attachment holes) on my Kioti and the upper one is the fixed one (which I had always used), i.e. no draft control. During maintenance I had moved it from the upper hole to the lower hole and as such activated the draft control. It states in my manual that in such case the implement will lower automatically. Newby error !

Jim, are you referring to item 5 in this illustration attached?

Items #15 and #16. Those are the piston seals with the piston being part #19.
