2017 LS xu6168 Loader issue

[jivey30528]

I have an LS xu6168 with a loader. The loader will raise but stop at about 5 ft. It will not raise any further and sounds strained when I try to get it to raise higher. No issues lifting things that are heavy. I have a grappler that opens, closes and tilts with no issues. The loader will not lift the front of the tractor any longer. Checked fluid levels and they are fine.

Check the quick disconnects. Most likely one for the lift cylinders popped out and it's doing what you describe. Don't just look at them, go ahead pull a bit on the hoses as some quick disconnects may look like they are connected but they aren't.
