3 point Hitch won't go all the way down

[Jeje]

Hi Everyone,

I have a mahindra 2615 that has no draft control installed. I rototilled my field last year and it was barely tilling 6" down. This year, my attachment does not even touch the ground. The lever operates well, 3PH goes up and down, but it doesn't go down enough. I know most tractor have a draft control that takes care of that but mine is not equipped with it. I played with the knowb under my seat, the one that controls the speed of the 3PH, but it doesn't seem to help. What I am missing, any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Welcome to TBN.

This may help you or someone else.

Manuals- Service, owners, etc (If you need diagrams)

I sent Mahindra an email today about just this issue. Here's their response: Dear Sir, Thank you for contacting Mahindra USA. The Company will deploy an on line parts catalog look up shortly for all customers. In the interim, a number of dealers are using the dealer version of the catalog...

Thanks for that Bruce, it is helpful to have this manual and I didn't know it was the same as a club cadet.

Still need help[ with my issue if someone thinks of something...

I had a three point which wouldn't go down all the way. I found a stop clamp on the three point control. After I moved it to the end of travel I could move the three point lever further and the hitch complied by going down further.

Can you post a photo of your tractors rockshaft(3pt) control handle in the lowered position? I'm curious if your tractors 3pt linkage has a feedback rod similar to my Kubota

Here are some pictures of the rockshaft in lower position. There seems to be a feedback rod on one arm, I have never adjusted this rod before, curious to hear what your experience has been with this part.

Have you tried it with the PTO shaft disconnected or ensured your PTO shaft moves feely throughout it's full range of motion?

You're manual should tell you where that rod should be adjusted at, it could be related.

Thanks for your reply, all my stop clamps are locked on both extremities (see picture above) so it is not the issue.

If it were me, before messing with anything on the tractor, I'd take the attachment off the 3 pt and then see if the arms go down further with nothing attached. That would eliminate that at least. You would have to push down on the arms after the leer is in the lowered position.
