3-Point Hitch TYM T454 3 Point Hitch Issues/ Remote Hydraulic lever

[SneakyBee]

Good afternoon, I am having some difficulty understanding how to properly raise and lower the 3 point hitch, when I watch a video on youtube, The operation is as simple as moving the position lever. Both Hydraulic remote "A" and "B" appear to be in neutral and nothing is attached to the rear hydraulic valves.
please bare with me as this my families first tractor newer than 1990 and may be a simple Q/A that we are not understanding and the manual is definitely not helping as I've read the thing font to back multiple times and would probably be able to fix some errors in the manual at this point.
The issue I am having/ not understanding is this: why do I need to have my detented Hydraulic remote "A" in either the rear/ forward position OUT OF neutral to raise the 3 point hitch? This Confuses me because if I ever wanted to use the hydraulic valve marked "A" does that mean I would lose function of raising the 3 point hitch?
in the manual it states not to have the hydraulic remote in the open position allowing oil to flow through the relive valve, however it seems impractical to me to have to take my hitch out of "Neutral" to raise it each time. When I have the hydraulic remote switch in the neutral position, I can only lower the hitch with my position lever. When it is in the forward detent it makes a loud relive valve sound and the rear position it makes a lesser relive valve sound but the engine RPM definitely changes and I can hear fluid flowing through something restricted.
on our older JD the position lever had no neutral position, it just worked. Im wondering if something hydraulic was plumbed incorrectly.
Thanks for reading-Sneaky

For an easier explanation.... This image is from my tractors manual. The Red lever has no control over lifting the rear hitch unless I have the blue lever in the forward/rear position. The blue lever is Marked "A" and I have nothing attached to the rear "A" couplings. Does this mean if I ever connect an implement to the "A" coupling I will loose function over the 3 point hitch? Is this normal operation? thanks.

the manual also clearly states not the have the lever in either position for an extended period of time... does that mean I have to operate BOTH levers to raise the hitch and then turn lever "A" back to neutral???

That's not the proper operation of the 3 pt hitch. Something is not connected right in the hydraulic system.

I would say we need some pictures of the setup to hopefully see what's going on.

Did you bought this tractor new or used? If used, can you tell if something was changed by the previous owner?

The remote levers should in indeed be in Neutral for the 3 pt hitch to work. Matter of fact, a lot of people kinda panic when their 3 pt doesn't work because they accidentally put one of the remotes in the detent position.

Thank you for the response, It does seem incorrect. The tractor was purchased new and has less than 15 hours on it currently.

I am unable to post pictures of the current hydraulic layout as I am currently out of town. I should be able to upload those in the next week and tag you as well as pin them to this post so others can see.

I actually called the dealership in Turner, ME where it was purchased and they "Confirmed" correct operation but I feel like my explanation was not the best. Next time I am in town I will also take a video of how it is currently operating. I hope this is a simple fix haha...

I'm glad I am not going crazy and something seems off.
