You could be low on hydraulic fluid.

Unplug the quick connect connectors (with the tractor turned off of course) Plug them back in. Don't mix them up. Try again.
Hey sorry it took so long to get back to you been busy. I crawled up in under the tractor and pulled on the lines and quickly found one unplugged just as you said and my loader is back to working again. Thanks for your time.

I’ve had that problem before, and I’ve hooked them up wrong which doesn’t work good either. One day my M59 loader wouldn’t move. It would curl, but the grapple wouldn’t move and it wouldn’t raise or lower and it sounded like the hydraulics were laboring. The M59 loader is non removable so no QCs. The source of the problem turned out to be the backhoe stabilizer had dropped a dirt clod on the thumb pedal. Apparently the thumb has priority flow over the loader and the thumb was dead headed.

This was the same issue with mine.
