AK is just saying what I did, control's that "stay on" are usually not used except for operating motors. Most are spring centered. Could it be possible that the other controls are not working properly and this is one you think isn't really is? I guess you need to consult the dealer.

Every tractor we have (6) all will keep the levers on untill they get popped back to center when the cylinders are either extended or retracted all the way. But, i'll check with the service dept and find out. Thanks

That is the way all the ag tractors I've run have been. Come to the end of the field, pull the lever into detent (implement raises to end of cylinder stroke), make your turn and push the lever into detent the other way (implement lowers and wheels raise to the end of the cylinder stroke) and off you go. Leaves your hands free for steering, throttle adjustment, etc while you are turning. My experience is related to about 1980 and older tractors with open center hydraulics. I would think that there would be an adjustable detent on the valve. Maybe it is backed off. I would call the dealer and ask about it.

There may be corrosion/debris in the detent slot. Take off the end of the valve and inspect, clean, and lube, and see if that will fix it.

Nope. The remotes. As in raising and lowering a pull type disc, chisel plow, sweep, etc.

Are all three of your valves the same type? The first standard valve on the Kubota is an SCD (self cancelling detent) on the other two there is the option to make one or both FD (float detent). Not sure if this helps.I only have the first remote and it operates the way you said two of yours do. The one on the bottom is the SCD. You might try a different implement on the circuit that is giving you trouble and see if it still has the problem. Check with the dealer to see if they installed an FD for one of your valves.

This is weird. I have never seen/heard of valves like Farmer or Kim speak of except the newer log splitter type valves.
If ether of these folks could come up with a valve part # or something would be awesome. :thumbsup:

The valves I'm referring to were the original equipment that came from the factory. 30, 70, and 90 series Cases had them. I think our old MM and John Deeres had them. As far as I know new tractors still have that function, although with the new electric/hydraulic controls it may be different, maybe even programable, and with three and four remotes, not all the valves would necessarily be the same.
