I have not posted but have read this forum daily (like a newspaper) and I know this topic has been covered extensively. I haven't used my three point in over a year- decided I wanted to hook up the dirt scoop> Checked the tranny/hydraulic fluid and found it to be down, a gallon of napa gl 1 brought it up where it should be. backed up to the scoop and raised the hitch and it came up nicely. When I tried to lower it- it is like a rock and won't come down at all. I stood on it, turned the tractor off and stood on it. Just wondering, the hydraulics have always worked well- what would you guys look for first? The tractor is a TEA 20 85- Thanks

I have exactly this problem, all of a sudden. I was mowing away happily yesterday, then I decided (without removing the slasher) to tow out an old trailer that is stuck in scrub. Its axle broke, so I didn't get it out far, so I gave up. When I returned to start mowing again, the arms would not lower!

I turned the tractor off and waited a few hours and they dropped as normal, but as soon as I turned the thing on again, up they went. Any ideas???

Try contacting John (UK)
[email protected] He has a world of experience on these machines
sounds like a sticking control valve, but give John an e-mail, he has lots of instructions sheets already prepared that are very helpful
