LONG front end loader moves slow ?

[Matthew27808]

Hi guys
I have a front end loader that rises very slow but is a little faster when the RPM are up. The pump is fine, thats verified. When you pull the control lever it drops about a inch and then goes up slowly but is still very strong lifting and the curl is fine. Could it be that one or both the Lifting Rams have bad packing ? Any thoughts ?
Thanks

If you quick disconnects on the hoses I would suggest carefully swapping the hoses for lift / lower to the curl / dump function. If the loader lifts fine but curl now is slow you could have valve issue.

Dropping a little before raising could be a load check leaking.

I don't have quick connect but I still can switch them. That way if that don't work it would eliminate the valve.Thanks, I'll try that.
