I have a new Kyoti Dk4710 with about 9 hours on it. I was just out trying out my new box blade and hydraulic top link. I moved the rear remote lever to the B position, retracting the hydraulic top link. The top link fully retracted and now the lever is stuck in the B position. The rear three point hitch will not raise and the tractor is basically stuck. The front loader still works but the hydraulics sound like it's bypassing due to the rear lever stuck in the on position.

While the tractor was off, I tried reversing the hoses for the hydraulic top link on the rear remotes, released all pressure in the hydraulics by lowering the loader and wiggling the stick until no movement and I unscrewed the hoses from the top link to ensure all pressure was bled off. I also checked the linkage to see if anything was bent and it's all fine. When I reach up under the tractor, the valve is definitely actuated, I disconnected the linkage and tried to move the valve under the tractor by hand and it is stuck. I'm at a loss and my new tractor is sitting out in a field with a box blade full of dirt and no rear hydraulics.

I know it's under warranty, but the dealer is 2 hours away, I'm hoping there is something I can do to get the valve back to the neutral position. I don't want to run the tractor if I might break something.

It sounds like the lever is simply in the detent position. You should be able to pull the lever back to the center-closed position.

Nope, I cannot. I used as much force as I dared to pull the lever without starting to bend things. It is solidly locked open.

Ok, crisis averted. I found another somewhat relevant thread that talked about hydro locking the cylinder and where he waited an hour for pressure to bleed down and was able to move the lever again. It had been about 40 minutes since I did it so I went out and tried and with some gentle persuasion (read as much force as I dared to use without bending the lever) it popped back into the neutral position and all is well.
