B2920 HST first time using 3 point hitch

[NoviceguyInCT]

I sucessfully removed my backhoe. I recently installed my three point hitch. But for some reason the 3pt hitch goes up but won't go down. Any ideas ? Any help would be appreciated.

Not familiar with your particular tractor, but most have an adjustment for how fast the hitch drops. With no weight on it you might really need to open that valve so it drops.

Check your owner's manual for the location of the above mentioned valve. On the "L" series tractors it's a knob centered under the seat.

Unfortunately I can't turn the 3 pt. adjustment knob at all. Is there a reason I can't turn this knob??? It won't budge.

Can't turn in either direction?

If you put the 3pt lever all the way down, go back and manually push down on the hitch and see if it goes down

Obviously it's tightened in the full restricted position. How old is your tractor. If it's never used it could even be seized.
