It doesn稚 keep bouncing, it痴 just jerky moving it up slowly. If you just pull it up fast to a set point, it痴 fine. Just when day your boxblading, and you try to just make a small adjustment up. It痴 real jerky. I致e learned to kinda work my way through it, but it was a shocker the first few times I tried to make small adjustments.

You can always pull up to a set point rapidly and stop moving the handle and then "feather" it down to exactly where you want it. That is what I used to do with my "standard L " Kubota. They will all go down smoothly as it is gravity moving them down. And gravity is pretty smooth nearly worldwide.

Thanks but its still pretty tough to gauge how bad the problem is. Doesn't really look too bad... certainly not something I'd sacrifice many hours and thousands of dollars to live without.
Go to the 3510, if your questioning then defiantly go bigger.
Yes, it jumps in 1/2" increments, mine does NOT keep bouncing
Its more annoying for me than a problem, the Kubota's I used were nice and smooth. After 300hrs im used to it and dont really give it a second thought.

My DK 35 is smooth also.
Seems to be a 10 series issue.

Manufacturer's love to see us working out their mistakes, solving it ourselves, for free, of course they read the forms, then they see us turning their poor decisions into "I guess I can live with it" and it was easier than putting a proper valve in the machines, Kubota did this as well and what do Kioti and Kubota have in common - they are head officed in Korea, all the design work is done in Korea, it's only bolted together in the USA. :thumbdown:

Yet Kubota is Japanese, not Korean.

Yes Kubota is, thank you for pointing that out.

I just tried an experiment with my 2006 DK45s. The 3-point is smooth (normal) if I raise the control lever at normal speed. But if I raise the lever VERY slowly I do get some jerking which also moves my body in such a way that amplifies the jerkiness (via the lever). There is a finish mower (about 600 lb) on the three-point. My DK is pretty heavy (maybe 6000 lb) so the mass of the tractor probably reduces the effect. I've owned this tractor for 10 years and previously I never noticed this jumpiness during normal use. I wonder how significant this jerkiness is in normal use.

I just tried the same thing with my DK 35 with a finish mower on. (lifting the 3 point as slowly as I could).
Very similar to what you explained.
Never really noticed it before in the 18 years I've owned it.(generally never need to run 3 point that slow)
Still nothing like what I'm seeing in the video.
Kind of random but I figure I would just ask here rather than making a new thread. I got the floor mat in the mail the other day, backordered from dealer, and just installed it today. It seems there are only 2 nipples on each side of the mat that pull through the floor. These dont seem to really lock down, even when pulled through with needle nose. Just seeing if anyone else has noticed this or is it enough to keep it in place.

Just came across this thread while looking into a problem I am having.
Not a Kioti, but rather a Rural King (TYM) RK55.
Cannot "feather" my 3pt up. Regardless of RPM, when I try to easy the 3pt up, implement will not ease up smoothly but instead comes up about 2 inches. Big PITA when doing grader/leveling work. No bouncing and will feather down smoothly. I have adjusted the tension on the lever and lubed all linkages/pivot points.
Implement is 1050 lbs +/- (see profile pic). Tractor 3pt rated 3000 lbs plus.
The tractor tech with RK told me there is a pressure valve that can be adjusted that may help. If it is similar to the MLS, I doubt it will do any good for my issue.
Tech is trying to work me in his schedule to come and try adjusting "on-site" while the implement is is the 3pt.

Hi jethroish, I have a 55HC - same exact issue. Did they fix it for you? It's in for 50 hour service and tech said it was probably tension in the cable - but that doesn't seem to account for jerky adjustments and the 'ghost' bouncing up and down.

Not sure about RK's but some CUT's have this issue, position type valves cause this, I think they are cheaper than the other type, most will come down smooth and up fast smooth, I've learned to raise it quickly beyond what I need and lower it to the exact position. Dealer was no help, Kioti USA was less help. My Kubota B2610 was perfect, but that's why Kubota are more expensive (better matched gear) IMO.

Not fixed. Tech has never come by. Maybe I should just put in a warranty request.

Like you, I have learned to work with it. But I/we should not have to simply "work" with it.

On my older Ford 4600 and on my Kioti DK55, there is a valve adjuster that controls the speed of the 3 point hitch. I am not sure it it controls both directions. I have never adjusted the speed.

It is not the speed adjuster. Tech told me that the hydraulic valve body has a pressure valve on it. He thinks that adjusting that pressure setting may fix the issue. To do so, means removing the seat and deck to access the valve body.

Can you repost this video, I can’t see it for some reason. Just bought a 2620. 3ph lifted smooth in the parking lot, and for the first few hours. I have 6.7 hours on the machine…. And I don’t deal with things that don’t operate as they should… your help is greatly appreciated.
