Three point wont lower

[Mahindra35]

A problem developed on my Mahindra 3510 The three point wont lower
with the three point controls but will lower using the rear auxillary lines control valve.

The three point goes up fine

The rear auxillary control valve is now operating the three point in the down position

I talked to the local dealer and he informed me that Mahindra pulled
his dealership and he cant help me.

He did think that something internally has happened to the control valves
controlling the three point

The tractor only has 150 hours on it

Any dealers familiar with this type of occurance that could be of help
would be appreciated.

Not to thrilled hearing about all the Mahindra dealers that are pulling out
due to Mahindras new dealer policies.

This could make owning a Mahindra a pain in the A..

That is the second 10 series 3 point hydraulic problem I have heard on the forum and I have had 0 problems with any of the machines I have sold. So I don't have the answer for you. But if you private message me or call me with your address and phone # I will have a Mahindra service rep contact you. I'll help all I can.

PS I'm sorry for the lack of commas in my writing but the comma on the key board doesn't work.

Make sure you don't have the valve between you legs closed.
I to have several 3510 out there and not yet one problem with the 3 point.

 

[Mahindra35]

That was the first thing checked.
The three point was working fine
the morning it quit. I just went to lower it down when I went to park it and the problem cropped up at that time.

I have not had one issue with anything on this unit till now.

Just concerned that this is not an easy repair and no support in northeast Ohio

Please don't think these are stupid questions but I am trying to narrow this down.
Are you also moving your draft lever?
Make sure you don't have your remote lever locked in a open position.
How is your tractor equipted?
Do you have a backhoe?
Were you doing anything when this happened?

 

[Mahindra35]

Yes

I understand your questions

I am using both the three point controls Height and draft

I have a 7ft blade mounted on the three point

The only way the three point will lower is if I have both the Height and draft controls in the full down position and then activate the remote hydraulic
lever mounted up against the right side of the seat.

If the three point is all the way up and I put both three point controls
in the full down position the three point begins to creep down very very
slow for about one inch and then stops.

The only thing I was doing just before the problem surfaced was clearing
some light brush on my five acres.

I did drive over brush debris and would get small tree limbs and trunks up under the tractor and wheel wells and the tractor would splinter these as
I was operating the tractor.

I examined the tractor after all this and could not find any damage to any
part of the tractor and as the contol linkages are up high just under the seat
there was no evidence of anything getting bent or knocked off in this area
either

This is a 2002 3510 Shuttle shift.

I have the mahindra factory loader installed and those controls work normal

Thank you for the interest

Is it possible that the 3 pt up/down lever got pushed past it's stops (working quadrant)?

Sorry I can't help you with your 3PH but, what's up with the new dealer policies? My closest Mahindra dealer just informed me they won't be carrying Mahindra next year. I am days away from making a decision between Mahindra and Kubota. Anything I should know about?

My Mahindra dealer no longer has the line as well. It was however, picked up by a more established dealer that is even closer to me.

 

[Mahindra35]

I really dont know the specifics. All the dealer told me was that Mahindra
was making it very difficult to deal with them and they didnt like the way
his business was being handled.

My understanding talking to him was several dealers are either pulling out
of Mahindra or Mahindra is dropping them before they drop Mahindra.

These are very well made tractors, I particular like the TYM versions.
It may be possible for Branson dealers to take up the slack on service with some of the Mahindras models since some of them are the same tractor.
