1025R FEL curl problem

[nikdfish]

The bucket only curls about 1/2 way. This just happened while I was moving some rotted deadfall material from a trail, one minute everything normal, the next no curl from the (then) current position. I can dump to the full extent, then curl back - but only to this half way point. What I hear when it stops is pretty much what you hear if you try to curl when the cylinders are fully retracted.

I don't see any indication of a bend/kink/defect when the cylinders are fully extended - see below:

This is the most it will curl now:

Any ideas of cause (or fix...)? Or should I just load it up for a trip to the dealer?

Did your quick disconnects get hit? Check those first

Next check the mechanical linkage.

Thanks guys! Apparently some of the loose trashwood in the area had nudged a quick connect just enough to be a problem but not enough to leak or fall out. When backed out a bit more, hydraulic started flowing. Once reseated, no more problem, full range of motion OK (- it was the one with the yellow cover).
