3 Point Lift Handle

[RobD70]

A couple weeks back I was power raking an area for my dealer actually to get ready for seeding grass. I went to lift the power rake and nothing happened. crawling under the tractor in the dirt to try and see why, my son noticed a roll pin that goes through a shaft thats attached to the lift handle came out and was just hanging on by its tip. We were able to align the holes and get it tapped back into place and finish the job. It seems like the handle comes up higher before whatever implement I have on picks up. Also the power rake hits the ground for a short time when I load and unload the tractor on my trailer now and it didnt before. Is it possible that when that pin worked its way out that the shaft turned like a half turn or something? If not, maybe Im wrong with the implement lift point.....but I dont get why it hits the ground when loading and unloading now....unless the top link is tipped back that far but I dont think so as I try to keep it level. Also, yes there is enough hydraulic fluid.

I could guess all day long on your problem, but without knowing what make.. Assume Kubota... model, sub-model there is too many options!
There's a huge difference in the hydraulics of all the different models.

Yeah that would probably help..... Kubota L3800 HST.

While I know the lever will come up a ways before any implement moves since the 3 point arms are already up some just to hook up. Just seems different than before. I also dont recall it dragging on the ground when loading and unloading either.

There is a feedback adjustment on the left side where the lift arm attaches to the spline shaft coming out of the tractor body. Perhaps it worked loose while that power rake was pulverizing the field. Check to make sure everything is tight there.
