I am having a problem with my 3 point lift. When I am digging a post hole, and the 3 point is lowered all the way down, I lose hydraulics to the entire tractor even the front end loader won't work). I thought maybe I was low on fluid (I checked it and it's ok) I thought maybe the pump was bad so I pulled it, had it checked and it's ok. While I had the pump off, I replaced fluid, filters and even removed the cover and flushed out the reservoir. I reinstalled the pump, bled it out and it worked good, until I lowered the 3 point all the way down again. Anyone ever had this problem?

Sounds like a feed back linkage adjustment issue to me.
Do you have the WSM (aka service manual)?
It will tell you how to check and adjust it.

If it has draft control, this also could affect it if it's engaged.

I've checked the draft control, but not the feedback linkage adjustment; I will look it up and try that; thanks for the insight
