HI everyone. I've had a ck35 for a few years now which is generally pretty good, but now and then I get a problem with the 3 point linkage. When I raise an implement up it drops maybe an inch then jerks back up then it drops an inch then up and effectively starts bouncing which is pretty annoying! Then less frequently it will drop slowly to the ground.
Sometimes it won't happen for a few months.
Any help much appreciated.

Somewhere down near the floor and around the base of your seat is the knob/lever that controls the raising/lowering speed of the 3-point linkage. Make sure it has not accidentally been turned to almost fully off. I had the same problem on my previous tractor and it was just that the "speed knob" got tweaked.

Also check that your hydraulic fluid is up to full.

I wonder how he made out? I bet you are correct on the fix.

Thanks guys I've started watching that you tube video and it is exactly what it does. I'll watch the rest for the fix and hopefully will get it sorted. I'll let you know!
