Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I was raking my gravel road with my 3215 when all of a sudden the three point hitch and FEL would not operate. Thought the hydraulic filter might be clogged but with less than 200 hrs on it, that seemed unlikely. Plenty of fluid, and no leaks (like a broken hose). I looked on here for someone that might have had a similar problem, couldn't find anything really "sameish". So a trip back out to the tractor, this time with my glasses, started looking over the hydraulic system real close and discovered the quick connecter that would usually run the backhoe was not seated all the way. At least it was an easy fix and not a need to replace an expensive part. I don't understand why it worked for almost a couple of hrs. before this symptom showed up! Oh well lets just chalk it up to you live and learn. :thumbsup: Hope if someone else out there has a similar problem that a good close inspection reveals that it might be something simple to resolve the problem.
