Is My Three Point Down Pressure Not Working? (or do I even have it?)

A short Q&A response to a viewer asking whether his 2003 John Deere 4210 should have hydraulic down pressure on the three-point hitch. Mike explains that virtually no tractors have ever had it, notes a rare exception in some older International models, and adds a practical tip about arm positioning when attaching implements. Useful for owners puzzled by why their landscape rake or similar tool won't dig into the ground.
