Loader problem

[docjupa24]

i did checked those, but i will disconnect and reattach them. i actually looked at it last night, nothing disconnected, fluid is full. the bucket works fine up to about 4 feet, then it just hits a wall, won't go anyfarther, tractor bogs down like its trying to. also it hisses when it goes down, it doesn't go down with force, just drops with its own weight. it didn't make this sound it didn't make before. the backhoe works without any issue.

I am betting the hoses are connected incorrectly. Your symptoms sound familiar.

they haven't been disconnected as far as i know, i'll check it tonight and post up

Could this be similar to a problem i'm having. My loader works fine but I lose power steering occasionally. I picked up hydraulic oil and filter for the tranny but haven't changed it yet to see if that fixes it. 350 hours on tractor.
