3 point question

[itpdk9]

So here is my question, I got my b3200 TLB last year, just recently removed the backhoe and used my rear blade for the first time on this machine. Aside from bending the leveling lift arm on the right side (see other post), I noticed that the up and down movement of the 3 point hitch is not very smooth. I am comparing this to my other tractor a ford 8n, for being 60 yrs old it had a much smoother lift when using the rear blade. I must be doing something wrong as you would assume that 2013 Kubota technology is better than 1950s 8n, but maybe I am wrong Any tip or trick to make the 3 point hitch any smoother is much appreciated. Thank you in advance for all of your help, yinz guys are great!

You can adjust the valve that is located down below the seat almost on the floor board to make it go down slower or faster.

Thank you, I would have checked my manual but I forgot it at camp. I am going to actually have to read it when I get back up there lol. Thanks again Bullitt, greatly appreciated.

I don't know if I really answered your question or not but I hope it helps. On my BX I adjust the valve for different loads like if I am using the blade, moving pallets, or mowing. Let us know if that fixes it.

There are some models that have a jerky 3ph. I don't know if the B3200 is among them. The dealers have supposedly been notified of some fixes, but evidently the information is slow to trickle out and the fixes are not 100%.
