4720H . was using my hydraulic wood splitter . All worked great lowered the splitter on to its wheels in the garage . Put it away . and then the 3 point arms wouldn't lift up. Hydrostaic drive works and the bucket functions??? Am I missing something. ? Where can I start to look. The limits switch looks fine. Didnt test it yet. Not in my way now as I making hay but will need the 3 point able to lift very soon.

How is your wood splitter hydraulically connected to the tractor? Just curious if either a valve is not centered or a hose is not reconnected properly to “loop” the flow back to the 3 point

The splitter was hooked to the rear remotes and it operated with a lever. Ill have to check the lever bungee cord is not still attached.

Found the bungee cord still on the remote. . Hoping that was it . Did this first thing today still in house coat and forgot the key at the house.
. Test later after lunch when cut hay is wind rowed.

You were correct. The valve still had the bungee cord on it and with the splitter removed there was no continuous flow . Hopefully I will remember that for next time. BTW my hay is all done now. Great timing for the quick repair .
