I have 272 British Leyland tractor that was being used with a three-point hitch to plow a garden. The three-point lift worked for several furrows and then suddenly stopped lifting at the end of one furrow. I do not know if the tractor rocked backwards and tripped some safety, but there is no power when lifting. I had the exact same event happen once while plowing a 20-acre field about a week earlier. In that event the three-point failed to lift when I reached the end of the furrow. When that happened I wiggled this lever and that and finally it lifted after about 15 minutes. I have no idea what finally made the lift begin to function again.
In fall of 2008 we had the same three-point lift failure while plowing a field and sent the tractor to the repair shop. The mechanic decided that a valve assembly in the tail-end might be failing and replaced it. Given that we have the same problem in the fall of 2009 and the tractor only uses three-point hitch in the fall I am skeptical if the mechanic replaced the correct failing part or if the lift simply started working again.
The oil is (new) clean and the filters were replaced in the tail end. The hydraulic hoses all have lift pressure so that part is working. I can not see anything that could be binding from the outside and need suggestions. The mechanic is about a month from looking at this tractor and by that time the ground will be frozen in Wisconsin. I still have another 30 acres to plow and don’t have another tractor that can pull the plow. Suggestions please.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
