Hey thanks for the info and the pics. The Type 1 sticker is on the right door. Unplugging the front hitch doesn't affect the rear hitch behaviour at all.As along time M040 owner you seem to have an unusual setup and one I never heard of before.
Is this configuration one done by a dealer who has done a number of similar ones or is this an odd duck?
Kubota M7040's can have one of two possible hydraulic setups labelled Type 1 and Type 2.
It is important for you to determine which system you have.
Kubota calls them Type1 and Type 2.
Type 2 tractors have the following label on the lower edge of the right door.
The Power Beyond loop is this loop of metal tubing seen on the warning label.
Type 1 tractors have a rectangular metal block. To connect a loader valve into the circuit, the regular plugs in the rectangular block have to be removed and replaced with special fittings. Think of these fittings like a power beyond sleeve fitted to a regular hydraulic valve.
If connections have been made improperly into the PB loop strange things can happen.
If you disconnect the two hydraulic lines from the REAR SCV which feed the front lift arms does the rear 3 pt hitch work better?

So this might be interesting - the lines on that block were quite rusted when I bought the tractor, and I asked the dealer to replace the connections. It looked like this before:
And it looks like this now:
Considering this is the last thing that happened before I got the tractor, and I assume it worked before fine, could this have done something?
Thanks again!
