M6800 Hydraulic lift arm on 3pt hitch

Hi -

We recently acquired a used M6800. The 3pt hitch has a hydraulic leveling lift arm which is currently not plugged into the hydraulics and there are no open ports. There are two sets of ports nearby that appear to be for the front end loader. So the question is do we unplug a set of lines to the loader when we need to operate the 3pt hitch?

Thanks for the response. I'm pretty sure there are no auxiliary hydraulics in the front but I will have to check again. When you hook up an implement without the hydraulics connected on the lift arm that side drags the ground, so it is not an option unless there is a way to lock the cylinder.

I played around with the m6800 again tonight and I guess I know my answer now. You have to disconnect one function of the loader, whose hydraulics and control move to the 3pt leveling arm. Does not seem worth the hassle for the convenience of the hydraulic leveling. The other arm has a standard hand crank level, so I assume the stock arm would have been fixed? or is this stock?

The machine has a woods loader which might be why it has this weird shared hydraulics set-up.
