He identifies and demonstrates the fix, cycling a control valve open and closed 8-10 times, while flagging a rubbing hydraulic line for warranty inspection. Useful mainly for 1626 owners hitting this exact symptom.
Owner-operator on his first-ever tractor, documenting hands-on issues as he learns, with no professional mechanical background claimed.
The owner found the middle control valve lever was not springing back to its position. Cycling that valve open and closed about 8 to 10 times fixed the issue and let the three-point drop normally again.
Cycle the middle control valve, which controls implement speed up and down, open and closed roughly 8 to 10 times with the tractor running until the hitch drops slowly then normally.
The dealer technician said it was unlikely since the tractor moved fine and the front bucket worked perfectly, suggesting the issue was isolated to the three-point control valve.
