My 06 3520 is my first tractor so sometimes I am unsure whether things are "right". When I raise my 3 pt all the way up, with or without implement, it periodically lowers a very small amount and then goes back up. It makes a whining sound the whole time this happens. It occurs about once a minute, usually, the whole time the 3 pt is raised. Its as if it is bleeding down and then correcting. Is this a problem?

Nah, that ain't right... Sounds like the sensor that reads the position of the 3pt arms and shuts the pump off is out of adjustment. Or failing.

That could be dangerous ---

Does it continuously drop and then raise the entire time you are operating the tractor? Or just randomly occurs?

If so, when you're trying to attach or detach a piece of equipment, would you have to "guess" when it's gonna act up?

Dealer needs to check it out --- especially if it's still under warranty.

It is less than a yr old and has done this since new. It is not as bad as you are thinking. It only does it(as far as I can tell) when its raised fully. It never drops more than an inch or so, and immediately goes back up. it isnt an issue when I am using an implement. I will give the dealer a call and see what we need to do.

It is definitely not right, I know the older tractors had a mechanical adjustment for this, not sure how it's done on the new series though...but get your dealer to fix it under the warranty.

Seems like you should contact your dealer, and get that checked out.
