Three Point hitch Problems
Help! My Yanmar's Three Point Hitch Is Broken! How do I fix it?
This is one of the most common technical questions we get asked. Before we can help, you need to do a little troubleshooting. There are, basically, 3 types of hydraulic lift problems- Won't go up, won't stay up, & won't go down. The information below is designed to be very basic troubleshooting help & is not intended to offer all of the steps needed. If you don't think you can do this yourself, please contact a local mechanic for help.
Three Point Down & Won't Go Up![]()
Three Point Won't Stay Up- Leaks Down.Lift the three point all the way up and close the lock valve (usually located between your knees lust under the seat- see fig A). Shut off the tractor. If the three point still seeps down then you probably have a bad lift piston oring because, by closing the lock out valve, you have eliminated the valve & everything else in the system. If the three point stays up then you likely have a problem with the three point control valve.
