Oil & Fuel Okay? Why 3-point hitch not going down?

[Gasifier]

I’m sure this is probably something simple. But today my mower is cutting out and 3-point hitch is not going down. Yesterday everything worked fine.

Any ideas?

Is the rate valve closed by chance? Should be a knob that controls that function, normally under or near the seat on a Kubota.

You just nailed it! Thank you sir! My clumsy foot must be turning it! D’Oh!

Likely a fuel flow problem. Watch your fuel bowl while the tractor is running and see if it empties right before it sputters. If so, could be a fuel line blockage, fuel filter blockage, or fuel solenoid valve malfunction.
