3-Point Hitch CK30HST - 3 Point hitch stuck in up position - not the seat valve speed adjustment

[ss4010]

There is a shock-relief in the 3-pt system, set at something like 2900psi. Did you get a BC service
manual?

It does sound like you have some sort of blockage in the MLS valve.

Checked with the dealer Thursday about the Bobcat Service manual. The current price for a PDF version is $124.74. Opted to hold off on the purchase for now. Checked the pump pressure at the rear remotes `2700. Then MLS valve was removed and it appeared to be in pristine condition. I worked the (MLS) spool and regulator piston up and down with my fingers while blowing out the ports with compressed air, put everything back together and the three point is now working fine. Used the tractor for another half hour and all is well. So the failure of the three point to lift does seem to have been related to a blockage in the MLS valve.

That's good news, Steve.

Too bad Bobcat is still outrageous on the PDF manual. Paper, I could see that, but
PDF?

Anyway, you may want to pick up a Kioti CK25/30/35 PDF in the interim. There have
been some free ones floating around, or there is one on eBay now for about $15.
