I'm hoping someone can provide some insight into a problem that I am having with my 3 pt hitch. I was using the 2520 today to haul some trees that I had dropped. Nothing big and they were cedar so pretty light stuff. I had hauled maybe 5 or 6 of them (one at a time and for about 150 feet). I had the 3 pt all the way up and turned of the tractor. I then went to lower the 3 pt and there was nothing. It feels like there is no pressure at all. So now it is stuck in the up position.


Any thoughts? :confused:

Would it be possible the "rate of drop valve" somehow got turned/closed?

My thought as well. Knob is located just below the front of the seat. Open that up a bit. If you have no implement on the 3 pt it may need a little push on the links to drop it.

That was it. Thanks a lot guys......must have been having a senior moment as the knob never even occurred to me. Very much appreciated.
