Got my tractor back after having trouble with the hydraulics not wanting to lower. Thought I would pass on what they said was the culprit. Seems that if the draft control lever gets moved past the stops at either end it will push a piston out of a sleeve somewhere and the hydraulics will not be able to lower. So make sure the stops are tight and that you don't force the lever or let it get bent.
To quote my dealer "bad design, but he's only seen a couple that have done this"
There was no charge for the fix!
