McCormick 3 PT stuck

[kl9]

Pretty straightforward. I don't know a lot about tractors, but the 3 pt is stuck in the highest position (with an attachment on it so it isn't a weight issue). I believe there is plenty fluid in it. Any suggestions? Someone told me to change the hydraulic filter first. I hope it isn't the hydraulic pump.

Uncertain about your McCormick but most 3 points are gravity down, power up. I did say most, but not all. Most of ours do not even require the engine to be running to drop the 3 point. Two of ours, however, have electronic 3 point and need to have at least electric power to the control in order to drop, but at that point those 2 drop under gravity, not hydraulic power. Is yours electronic control or does it have a mechanical linkage to the control valve?

Good question. I'm not sure as I'm going to be borrowing the tractor from a friend. I could look more into that. If it isn't going down on its own I might be missing something from an electronics perspective?

Possible the needle valve to control the drop rate is screwed all the way in?

Any idea of the model number?

It appears the X10.50H is a Kioti DK500se in red. Maybe those guys can help.

Guys?

I figured it out. It was the needle valve being screwed all the way in.

Thanks for the update, easy fix!

 

[kl9]

Yes thank you!

I would say "elbowroom" figured it out.

Correct. I was trying to say I confirmed that was the issue.
