Went out to start my L4600. Pushed and pulled the position lever for the 3-point hitch and nothing happened. I do have the backhoe on. Checked to make sure the arms wouldn't hit anything before trying the control. Read the manual and did the simple instruction of pushing down and pulling up. Am I doing something wrong? The arms did nothing......steve104c

I didnt think they would be able to do anything with the hoe still attatched. If it can remember its power up and gravity down. Having weight on the arms helps drop it faster.

Eric, I took the hydraulic lines off the backhoe and tried the three point hitch arms. You were right. I had to push down on the arms. It worked OK. I was worried something was wrong with my new tractor. Eby tang O Tay.....steve104c
