3-Point Hitch Hydraulics help

[orchard eric]

I took the hoe off of my new LK30 to use the 3-pt hitch... it doesn't raise when I move the position lever to the up position. with the positon lever in the up position, it will raise if I work the FEL. It will work if I turn the directional valve on the block to close... but that prevents the FEL from operating. I suspect that something is plumbed incorrectly with the hydraulic block. Port 4 goes to the loader, port 6 is the "carry over port" and is tee-d to the loader and hoe. Port 5 is only connected when the hoe is not in use. Can anyone confirm that this is correct? picture of hydraulic bock attached.

Seen this before. You need to switch the "tank" port and the "power Beyond" port at the hydraulic block. They are reversed.

Not your fault, the manual is mis-leading.

I ended up calling Kioti and the tech told me the same thing... It came that way from the factory. Evidently this happens often. Thanks for the reply.
