You have anything ON the 3 point? Or is it in the air by itself?

Does that tractor have the down pressure adjusting valve?

Stand on the arms and hit the lever - (might be a challenge to do) and see if it will go down.

You have "new" fluid in the hydraulics? Last filter change?

Does the FEL work? - maybe you do not have one installed.

There should be a knob, between your legs as you sit in the seat that will adjust the flow of fluid leaving the cylinder, therefore adjusting drop speed. Loosen it up

spin that knob once in a while to help preventing it from seizing up. Every time I run my grease gun on my little BX I adjust it open. Close it. Then Count back to where I have it set.
