While rototilling over some rough ground the three-point became unable to lift the tiller. I have a Satoh Stallion and the loader is fine and so is fluid level. Any ideas on what is causing this? Thanks.

Did you try wiggling the joystick for the FEL a bit to make sure it's exactly centered instead of having a valve open a tiny bit? I don't know about the Mitsubishi but I have the exact same thing happen on a Kubota, and that was all it took for everything to work right again.

May have some contaimation that got circutlated to the 3 pt. lift arm valve or if it has a filter like mine does, the filter is clogged with debry/contamination.

This may sound like a redundant or silly question/ suggestion. But since yo were working over rough ground, did you by chance check the cylinder speed control? Maybe it tightened up with all the vibration?
The other possiblity,, this is one I see commonly in all brands. The cylinder speed control valve adjustment assembly gets a bit worn, and eventually and usually under alot of vibration the check ball and spring come out of alignment and the o ring displaced , no longer allowing the hydraulic cylinder to build pressure to lift and implement or loader if you have one. All the pressure is escaping from behind it and the O ring??? It's actually an easy fix for most models. Paula web page
