Kioti CK3510HST 3pt won't raise.

[ptsg]

Yes and the levers are in neutral.

I'm wondering if the third function is stuck in one position and once you turn the key off, it returns to neutral, so a little bit of residual pressure will then cause the 3 pt to raise slightly.

If this is the case, then there must be something going on with the switch for the 3rd function.

I did play with the switches for the 3rd function while trying to raise the 3PT but no joy. Nothing is currently connected to the 3rd function currently.

You win!!! One of the switches was stuck. The knob they are mounted in was full of water and the inside of the switch was all fubar. Problem solved now all I have to do is replace both switches so I have 3rd function restored. There was no easily felt tactile difference in the switch and with the engine running I couldn't hear any. Once I played with it while everything was quiet I noticed one switch made a click and one didn't.

Anyone with the 3rd function may want to seal up the knob on the FEL lever.

Thank you everyone for all the ideas and especially ptsg.

That will do it indeed. Glad you found the issue. Shouldn't be too hard to fix now.
