Kubota L 4400 hydraulics

My rear lift no longer works normally. When lifting hay bales the rear fork goes up about 4 inches and stops moving. If I raise the FEL the rear fork will continue to move up to a normal position. The fluid level is normal. Any suggestions? Thanks

I think your L4400 is similar to my L4200 If so on the right side just forward of the hydraulic filter, you should see a large slot in the end of a selector valve. (see the attached picture), that slot should be vertical with the loader and horizontal with out the loader plumbed. Insure it is vertical, as it may have gotten turned slightly. KennyV.

Please let us know what the problem is when you get it figured out. I'm very curious.

I would ask the dealer first.

I looked for the large slot, but it's not in the same place. I called the dealership, and they said check for it on the joystick (control) of the FEL. I still can't locate it, so the dealer said they may have to look at it.

Thanks for the info, I'll let you know when I find the problem.
