3-Point Hitch JD 2305 3pt

[WV 2305]

Just have a little over 50 hours on my 2305 and was using the FEL and 3pt box blade to push out briar patches. Was working a little over 2 hours when I back bladed a patch and tried to raise my rear blade and it would not move. Checked the position control knob and all else according to books, nothing works. Any Ideas what may have happened?

WV,

Did you check the rate of fall knob; is there any chance it is closed off?

Well now, feel a little incompetant but found that the quick coupler on the rear hydraulics had come disconnected but not enought that the hose end actually fell down and looked out of place. Locked coupler fitting and have 3 point hydraulics now.

Thanks,

Welcome to TBN

Don't feel bad, you would be surprised how often loose quick coulplers cause problems!

Where are the couplers for the 3PH?

I think he is refering to the PowerBeyond connection.

Power Beyond on a 2305! Cool!

Glad you figured it out!

I had something simial happen to my2305 today. Last week put power beyond kit on and used logsplitter I built for it this weekend this morning for about an hour. Tonight it snowed so I pushed snow with the blade for about an hour then parked it in garage when done, lowered the ballast box on rear then went to lift back up because I was on a cord, but it would not lift, looked into the rate of drop knob but that was not it. Pretty sure no couplers are loose cause just put them on. Any more ideas????????????

Welcome to TBN

What does "Pretty sure no couplers are loose" mean? Unhook them and re-seat them to be sure. This is the most common "my xyz won't lift anymore" answer.
