I Just got it back from the shop. Started to pull out my flat bed from a muddy pasture with the bucket and it stopped moving. No forward or reverse and the 3 point wont move. It was a little low on hydraulic oil, i added couple gallons and still nothing. Ideas?

Take it back to the shop if that is what they fixed!
No other idea on that problem though.

It's possible that the pump has cavitated, if it's cold it could take some time, try cycling the three point several times while it's at an idle.
If you still don't get anything pull the filter and see if it's full of fluid.

It was something like that. My mechanic stopped out and messed with it and it moved normally. He said it was probably a clog. I think that it as more like you described that it cavitated. A week before, the oil sight glass blew out and I lost a lot of fluid. After permatexing the sight glass and added fluid I probably introduced air bubbles as I drove it a little when it was low on fluid.
