I had a problem with the 3 point hitch taking forever to go down even with a load. I found info here at this site. Thanks to the person who pointed out that the knob just below the seat that opens & closes a valve to control the speed of the hitch has a set screw that holds the valve in place. It is small & not easy to see. He pointed out you could remove the valve once you loosen the set screw. Well I thought I may have forced the valve to far in one direction as the valve doesn't turn very far in either direction cw or ccw. I thought the valve was stuck that's where I went wrong. The fix: I loosened up on the set screw(allen wrench). I then turned the knob ccw a little & found it lowered as normal. I tightened the set screw & I won't play with that knob again.

I just requested 11-28-14 help for the same issue. The hitch lift works good when operated to go up but takes maybe 2 minutes to go down. I had a 6' wide leveling box attached to the hitch at the time. It had plenty of power when operated to go up even with a load of dirt in front of the leveling blade. With no load the hitch takes maybe 8 min. to go down. I wondered if I turned the control knob (below the seat) to far and that created the problem. I couldn't determine which way to turn the knob. It looked like Chinese markings on the knob. I guessed which way to go and it was difficult to turn so I put a pair of pliers to the knob. If you have a fix reply. I might take off the casting the knob is connected to & see what it looks like inside.
