Kubota L4240 HSTC,L3000DT
My Kubota has three locations for the connection of the top link of the three point;never needed to try moving until recently.
I was trying to gain a little height for a big two bottom plow.Not finding anything in the manual;have three choices;so what if any advantage to moving it.

If you look through your manual you should find it, Bottom link should pick up the rear of the implement more, middle should be approximately level, and top hole should pick the front of the implement more. this all depends somewhat on the length of the toplink as well. Be careful with plows, you want to set it up to run true in the ground, not necessarily pick it up higher. Also, do you have draft sensing on your tractor?

Multiple sets of paired holes vary leverage.

Primary function of Top Link leverage is to vary sensitivity of Draft Control when plowing soil or pulling a loaded Box Blade.





Are your Lifting Rod stirrups set in the upper hole positions? Difference between lower and upper holes is about 5" in lift. Top holes are the "normal" setting. (Photo #2) ((Higher hole = Higher lift))

See two photos.
