I have a L3400D tractor that I am having problems with. When trying to hold my brush hog at any level the tractor will start hopping up and down. I doesnt do it when the brush hog is off the tractor or when you are all the way up or down. Only when you are in between. Please help!

I didn't check if it would hop while the PTO is engaged. I have only tried to lift the brush hog with the PTO disengaged.

I had an L3400 with FEL that got jerky when I would raise the loader bucket. It turned out that there was a hydraulic suction line down by where your right foot rests that had a hole in it. I believe that caused air to get in the system causing the erratic behavior. I'm not sure if that suction line is the same for one without a loader or if it would affect the lift. However, you may want to check it because that was a common problem on that model.
I am only having the problem with the three point. Not the loader. Isn't the filter for the entire system? So if I had a clogged filter it would effect the loader also. I was thinking it was the pressure relief in the three point valve body.
I'm not sure if its the same filter.
I suggested cleaning it bc its an easy trouble shoot to try.
