Took the new tractor out in the yard the other night, wanted to see what it could do. I bought pallet forks and decided to see what it would lift. I have some small 4' round bales left over from last year and slid the forks under it. Lifted it up no problem, but wouldn't curl it back all the way. Dropped the bail and it curled all the way back, but not with the bail. Thought it might be air in the lines so I ran the FEL through a number of motions, checked the fluid levels, checked the connections. Is this normal, or should I call my dealer?

Thanks

Any idea what the weight of the bails is? The only time I have had problems is when lifting a full heaping bucket of gravel dust. I can lift it, but not to the max height.

It is an undersized small bail - weight about 300lbs

Had the sam problem with qty 20 - 2x6x12 which ways in at about 300lbs.

Thanks

Since it's only 300 lbs, it's time to talk to your dealer. That loader should easily handle 300 lbs.

Stretch did you get forks that mount to the bucket or to the loader arms. I made a set of forks that mount to my bucket I give up some lifting capability because of the leverage of the forks being far away from the cylinders. Was just curious?

Got the forks which mount to the loader arms. I called my dealer and he said there is a number of thinks which may cause this. They are going to send someone out to the house to check it out. It is raining here, and expected to all weekend; so I am in no hurry to take it out. Picked up my brush hog today. Again, it is raining so it sits on the trailer yet. Thanks for the help all, I will post what they report.
