    Bolt-on hooks & D-rings on a JD compact with a HD bucket?

    Poor bucket lifting power

    My compact 4wd tractor loader has weak lifting power. I've owned other tractors, and they lifted much more. The bucket can tilt and lift double what the arms will lift. I've opened the knob that slows the flow to the loader. Any ideas? I have several items needing moving that it won't lift.
