How to drop hitch on a Zetor 6441 Proxima

[tony_almeida]

Hi,
I've got a quick question. I'm not very good with machinery, so here goes! I want to drop the hitch on a Zetor 6441. The tractor is on and I'm pushing the lever in the cab forward to open the hitch, so that it drops down. Basically, I just want to change the hitch around and use the drawbar.

The only problem is that the lever won't move forward. Does it need much pressure, I don't want to break it! Do I need to press something else?

Thanks!

i have never tried a 6441 hitch but on our massey the hydraulic arms must be lifted all the way then pull the handleand whilst holding the handle let the arms down . hope this helps you

Following on from Matthews accurate comment, It is possible that the cable is seized up or you have a build up of solid mud on the latch mechanism.

It's just I wasn't sure how to do it. so, I'm motoring now!

Thanks for the replies. It's greatly appreciated!
