Xu5055 3pt lift suddenly won't lift?

[Jduke2]

My wife was using the tractor to box blade some sandy soil and come in to tell me it won't lift.

Got the box blade off, and it won't move under tractor power, I can lift it up through its entire range of motion, but the tractor won't move it at all.

I checked the knob under the seat that changes speed of lift and it doesn't help.

The handle and button that lift it all the way up for turning around have no effect either.

When I lift it up there doesn't seem to be any resistance more than just the weight of the arms.

Anybody have any ideas?

Did they move the levers for your rear remote valves by accident? Some tractors do weird things when the pump dead heads. Is there a loader on the tractor and is it working properly? Did they hear any noise when it stopped working?

Went back out this afternoon, apparently if you bump the second rear remote into a non center position, it will cause the 3pt to be inoperable.

Moved the blue remote lever to center and everything works.

Glad it was a easy fix.

I believe it has a hydraulic lock out...small silver piece in front of the joystick. maybe it got bumped into a lock position.

That is the lockout on the joy stick for the FEL, He had problems with the 3 point hitch on the rear. Mine did the same thing when I had the 3 point hitch wood splitter on it, running off the live hydraulics. When the lever for the hydraulics is thrown into detent, then the 3 point hitch will not lift. You can float it down but cannot lift it until you throw the hydraulics lever for the live rear hydraulics into neutral. No idea why they have it set up that way.

Open center hydraulics is why.
