I checked the hydraulic fluid and it was half way between the two lines on the dipstick. I assume this is the safe area. The bucket curls and dumps perfect, fast and powerful. I can put the bucket on the ground and dump it, it will pick the front of the tractor right off the ground. It has to be something with one of the cylinders for the lifting of the FEL. I can't see any other solution... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Dmace, your low on hydrofluid, fill it up to the top line and try cycling the loader...

I'm sure the boy's at b's will fix you right up.

It was too muddy to do any work here.

Talked to Eric this morning, doesn't believe the fluid is low, he'll be giving you a call shortly.

Someone mentioned back pressure on the side of the cylinder that should be returning fluid to the system causing the fel to stall at the 1 foot height. Based on your symptoms, that's also what occured to me. One possibility is a broken linkage or pivot screw in the hyd valve assembly, allow the high pressure fluid to flow, but not opening up the low pressure exhaust side enough. But, my guess is a hose quick connect for the fel that's not competely seated for that end of the cylinder.

Don't panic when you get home if your tractors gone. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Eric just left to pick it up.
50 hour service and fix the loader.

Sweet!

I can't wait to get her back.

I must say that is the fastest service I have ever received on anything I have ever purchased.
Thanks again Batchelder Sales !

Your tractors fixed, nothing major.

Had Eric not forgotten the oil wrench, he would have serviced your tractor at your house.

You'll have her back tomorrow.

Inquiring minds want to know.

What was the problem?
