Hi All, new here and new to Kubota. Just purchased a L35 and when I have the 3PT all the way up it appears to be still pumping fluid to the arms unless I open the "lock out" valve ( one between my knees). Then it appears to bypass the fluid to the arms. Is this normal? Thanks
Bill

There is a feedback rod involved that limits how far up the arms go.

Yours may need adjustment?

What you described sounds abnormal to me.

Russel King sounds right. I recently had to adjust mine to get the draft control to work properly. I went too far and it wouldn’t stop up pumping and caused the relief valve to to activate.

Thank you....I know where the feedback rod is (with the two nuts) . I just removed the backhoe to install a logging winch and haven't found a good way to adjust rod. Are there any links to procedure? I have tried search to no avail.
