I took time today to try and trouble shoot my 3 point lift problems. It still seems that there is no fluid circulating to the back. I loosened the filter off and instead of spraying it just dripped. Do I need to loosen every connection to find where the blockage is at? I have power steering. It seems a bit week or sluggish. WHAT DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST?

Please confirm: manual steering or power steering?

I have an Agracat 2940 Super and I struggled with this for a while and I finally feel like I overfilled the hydraulic fluid but it works well now. The dipstick has two lines on it. If you fill til the fluid shows near the top line WITHOUT threading the dipstick in that is where I fill to. ....

Concur. Missed the word "power" in your opening post, sorry 'bout that.
This is not a common sump machine where the same fluid is shared by both gears trains and hydraulics. Gear goes into the fill hole on the transmission, which subsequently flow rearward to the differential and forward to the mid-connect (shuttle or creeper) box. Gear oil is also used in the front differential.
But the hydraulics (lift and steering) require proper hydraulic fluid, which is contained in a sump directly beneath the operator seat. Push the seat all the way forward on the rails, you'll see the fill point in the top rear. Unscrew dipstick, wipe, reinsert - but don't screw it back in. Just set it in the hole, then pull it out to check the level. When clean, it's hard to see, so you might want to lay it on a clean cloth or paper towel. The oil transfer will show you how much is on the dipstick. The dipsticks with two lines are self-explanatory. If you have one with a single line, consider that the full mark. On mine I never added fluid unless/until my (one line) dipstick came out dry.
