Should tell first, the hydraulic oil on the Max mark, the flow control valve is completely opened. Checked both those easy solutions first :)

The tractor in Branson 2515R shuffle shift.

Was working today spreading gravel on my driveway with the box blade. The 3 point suddenly stopped lifting. All other hydraulics seem to work, however the load control valve makes some buzzing/sipping sound and hot to the touch.

Any thoughts?

Check the remotes levers. Make sure those are in the neutral position.

Also, if you have a backhoe and it uses a loop instead of the remotes, make sure those hoses are fully connected.

Yes, the remote lever stuck and i did not see it.
I was 2 mm away from tearing the loader control down....

Yup, 11 times out of 10, that's usually the issue.

The noise and heat on the loader valve was the fluid being forced through the relief valve at full pressure and possible at full flow depending on the engine RPM. This is called dead heading the hydraulic pump which is very hard on them due to all the heat it produces.

Yes, it is what i thought, but could not figure the problem, so, as you very delicately and correctly stated, 11 times out of 10 the problem is in the container between the operator's ears
