3 point hitch’s hydraulic lifting power is not quit strong

[jkk04]

Anybody can help me to fix the problem.
I have Massey Ferguson 30 Industrial Tractor. It has Perkin diesel engine and instant reversal transmission.
The problem is that rear 3 point hitch’s hydraulic lifting power is not quit strong enough. It is ok to lift the scraper and 5’ rotary mower but small side 3 point backhoe which is about 2000lb
What I supposed to start to resolve this problem?
Any comment will be appreciated.

What's the capacity of the hitch? Is it designed to lift 2000 lbs? If it is, then perhaps the lift cylinder is leaking or a relief valve is damaged or stuck open and not allowing max pressure in the cylinder.

a 30 is not made to lift 2000 lbs 1200 to 1300 is all

did some checking and your 30 has a operating weight of 4225 lbs so now you want to put 2000 lb on the back it will be like the tail waging the dog

Thank you for comment.
Now time to find out what is problem. Where is relief valve? Is it right under the seat? Is it easy to reach and clean?
Any comment will be appreciated.

Reading your predicament and noticed several replys indicating you have a TO30 confused with a MF30 Industrial Tractor. Two different birds. My MF 30 book indicates a rear lift capacity of 3232Lbs. for a MF20D turfmaster, so your 30 should lift every bit of that. Would suggest getting the book on the beast. Still available to the left under manuals. Good luck.

That's the capacity at the ball ends. Go back a couple of feet and the lift is a lot less. Dave
