Kubota M Series Lift Issues

[benn0]

Hey all we have a Kubota M series at work, maybe an m8549 although not 100% but its a close model to that. We tow spray units, mulchers and have a frame on the front for scissors/trimming of canes. Its a narrow cab used for vineyards and we had just finished trimming the canes on the vines when this happened. Heaps of s#$% was underneath the cab. Lots of canes/mud and we thought it might of been that. But we pressure washed all the mud, canes and leaves out, even took off the right wheel off to do it.

Problem is the lift will lift all the way up but when we go down, it stays a foot to foot-and-a-half off the ground. We can get it down to the bottom if we lift the draft lever up while the lift lever is down.

We topped up hydraulic oil and it is pristine and spotless between the cab and chassis so we are stumped.

All the metal rods seems to be fine, no bends or anything.

Any help or tips?

Thanks

If you have the op manual it might explain how to lock out the draft control, might rule out the draft being issue or not. I can lock it out on my M7060 with a slide/pin on the top link mount.
