JD 200cx Power Loss

[blawrence39]

Hello. I have a JD 2305 with about 350 hours and a 200cx loader. I bought the tractor used and when I purchased it, a heavy load in the 200cx loader would cause the back of the tractor to come off the ground (without the ballast box). Today, I tried to lift a moderate load (without the ballast box) and instead of lifting the back of the tractor off the ground, the FEL simply would not lift. This has never happened before, and I know I have had heaver loads in the bucket in the past with no issues. Earlier this year, I did puncture the hydraulic filter on the bottom of the pump. I replaced the filter and refilled the fluid. Any suggestions as to what I can check about the power loss? Thanks!

The system pressure. Get a gauge

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Have you re-checked the hydraulic fluid level? Do it with your tractor on a level surface and cold.

Enjoy the site.

Today, I checked the suction screen with no issues found. Then filled with new hydraulic fluid to specs. Still having the same issue. The FEL lifts still, just doesn't have the power that will left the back wheels off the ground like it used to. When I try to lift, it sounds like the fluid is bypassing like the pressure relief valve is tripping. Is there a way to adjust it? I have a pressure gauge on order. Thanks!

Not familiar with that model, but I would be pretty sure there is a way to adjust it. Sometimes a screw....sometimes removing a plug and spring and putting shims under the spring. Someone with that model or your dealer should be able to tell you how. But dont do it without the gauge. And dont go way above spec either. At spec, or 5% above is about where you want to be
