Kubota GL35 3-Point Hitch Not Moving

[Roleximus]

I’m running into a bit of a headache with my Kubota GL35. The 3-point hitch is totally stuck up, and no matter what I do, it won’t budge.
The hydraulic cylinder seems to be doing its thing, so I’m scratching my head here.
Anyone out there dealt with this before? Got any tips on how to troubleshoot it?

If your GL35's 3-point hitch is stuck in the up position, the first thing I'd suggest checking is the drop-rate knob located under the seat. If it's turned all the way in, it can lock the hitch in place. Plus, it's a good idea to take a quick look at your hydraulic fluid level and its condition, just to eliminate that possibility

If everything there seems fine, you might be dealing with a stuck flow control valve. Have you tried adjusting the knob while pushing down a bit on the arms? I'm curious to know if you see any movement when you do that

Actually you know what it could be the rate-of-drop knob cranked all the way tight without you realizing. Try backing it off a turn as we might be overthinking this and it might just be something simple like that.

Okay, so first, take a peek at the hitch to make sure there's no junk or rust messing things up. Then, grease those pins and bushings, and be sure everything's moving freely. If it's still acting up, the next thing to do is check the control valve to see if it's working right.
