Hello friends, I have a B6200 that last year was working fine. I don't use it very much and plan on selling. But now won't lift the 3 point hitch arms. I havee changed the filter and checked the hydro fluid level. Thanks, in adance for any help.

I hope someone who knows something responds. I have read of some interaction between the three point lift and the blade deck lift, I think. Check your owner manual, there may be a lever to flip to select between them. I think it varies by model.

I had a similar issue, there's a dial underneath the seat for the 3 point hitch pressure. I inadvertently turned it all the way down one day. Check and make sure a kid hasn't been turning knobs.

Pretty simple machine. There is a diverter valve on the right side just under the pump. If it is in the wrong position your lift won't work. Consult the owners manual for a description of the "hydraulic outlet block".

Any hydraulic options or loader on the machine?

Thanks. There was a lift circuit for a blower. I disconnected it a good while ago and the arms lifted just fine until recently. I'll let you know after I check it out.

On that machine it is going to be real easy to check for flow and pressure.
