Three point hitch not lowering

[MoPops]

I've got a CT225 getting ready to mow again. Backed up to the brush hog and the arms will not lower. Hydraulic fluid is just below the low level notch on the dipstick. Loader is going up and down just fine. LookIng at the linkage underneath, it looks fine. Everything appears to be connected and moving properly. I'm not a mechanic. Any suggestions? Heck, I'm not even sure what hydro fluid to get. It's only got 120 hours on it.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not familiar with your machine, but most units have an adjusting knob between your legs/below the seat that allow the 3pt hitch to be lowered at whatever rate you want, helps a lot when you have heavier equipment, turn the knob clockwise to slow the lowing rate and counterclockwise to speed it up (you may have the turtle/ rabbit decal to indicate). you have probably been bumping it and never noticed

Found the culprit.. Hasn't found a button, switch, or knob he didn't want to push, turn, flip, etc..

From this granddaddy that is a great picture. Sure tells a big story.

Thanks guys. He plays with tractors all the time. Has tractor pajamas, etc.. I know next year it'll be something else, but right now he loves tractors, and his Pops (or maybe it's just the tractor, ha)
tman, I washed it before he came up last time. It's a mess right now. It does only have 120 hrs on it. I keep it inside too. If it wasn't for the wrens that moved into the barn,,, well, maybe being white helps.

Glad it was that simple. Kids just a bit younger than him have been known to put dirt/pebbles into both the fuel and hydro fill ports.

He's got a twin sister that would be first in line for that. Wouldn't be her fault though. Hehe
