Thanks for the welcomes, looking foreward to increasing my knowledge on this tractor, so far she's been plug and play and handleing everything we've thrown her way. My neighbor has a mini excavator so between both pieces of equipment we've been able to handle pretty much anything. It's truely amazing on how much you'll use a front loader one once you have one!
I already posted this on the JD site....However, I need an answer ASAP since I'm tring to finish my yard around the house and this thing is truely ticking me off. I've got a JD 3203 and my 3 point hitch it acting up, When raising the 3 point it will hit the top stop and start to lug the engine down as if it were trying to lift a heavy load contousley. Also it will not stay in one position, it's either full up lugging down the motor or bleeding off drifting down. I've disconnected the rock staft adjustable linkage that goes to the 3 point hitch and moved it full travel and it does nothing to fix any problems. I have not changed the fluid/filter because the symptoms, don't seem to match dirty fluid or filter, since the front loader seams to opertate just fine. Any help would be appreciated.
