Stuck up 3PH

[TOMLESCOEQUIP]

The kubota only has one lever to the right of the seat.........this is a older machine. ( up , hold , down, float) Would it be possible backing up on a pile of gravel to over center something internally ?? You would think the hyd cylinder would be built so it has some type of stop or safeguard so this wouldn't happen.............I didn't ask him how it came to be stuck..........maybe there's a story here I'm not aware of ??.............. I had this tractor 10 years before I sold it to him & it went to Florida........I remember this happening once to me, but don't know what I did to remedy it........I know I didn't have to take anything apart..........But the rest is a blur...........Tom

I am new to the forum and came across your thread and had something simular happen to me so I thought I would share it.
I had my little mitisubishi 374 do that once and found the piston stuck.
I added lots of weight to the 3pt and it broke loose and has been working since.
The reason for the piston sticking was due to corrosion had set up due to lack of use.
Hope this helps.
