When I asked if anyone had any ideas for this the only thing I got was a bungee cord. This would be in the way - not acceptable. I ended up mounting a barrel latch and now can easily lock the remote lever on when using logsplitter or back hoe attachment.
I bought tractor used with a box blade. It raised fine to load it on the trailer and hasn't worked since. The front bucket raises and lowers ok, but the 3pt won't. lej.
