I was brush hogging a small field today and the lift on my 3pt just quit. Tractor only has 24 total hrs on it and only 6 of those hrs are using the bushhog. Field had been mowed for hay and all I was doing was knocking down the johnson grass that was in small clumps scattered in the field. I did hear a loud pop which sounded like something breaking. Tractor is full of fluid and the loader and power steering still works, have not tried the remotes or the third function but I think something broke in the lift arms themselves. Of course it was to late to call the dealer and to top it off I blew out one of the trailer tires hauling the tractor home and just left the truck and trailer loaded at my brothers house. Tommorrow will get new tire and bring the tractor home at which time I can unhook the bushhog and try to lift the 3pt arms to see if something is broke. I feel it should be a warranty issue but dealer is 56 miles away and on the other side of the mountain so I would like to trouble shoot myself so I can give good info to dealer before I have to send the tractor to the shop. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what to check..
