I have a fairly new to me Dk55 with about 760 hours on it. My issue is when I have the pallet forks on the machine and I try to curl the them it will not curl. Are they known for this issue? My l35 has no real issue like this.

Check your disconnects! Pop them off and reconnect then post back.

I had the same issue with my 45s a couple of years ago. slid the forks under a pile of slabs, and went to curl back, and just went into bypass. I though that was strange until I decided to just raise the pile, and instead of the loader coming up, the back tires did.

If you have a heavy load out toward the end of the forks, that is a lot of leverage for the small surface area on the retract side of the cylinders to overcome.
