MF 150
Our MF150 doesn't seem to be able to pick up a roll of hay? It picks up our bush hog and other things but nothing as heavy as the bale. But the bale shouldn't be over 1000 lbs so in my eyes should be movable. Is it too much?

We just acquired this tractor with the death of my FIL and so I know nothing about it. We did check the fluid which was overfull so we removed some oil. It seems to start gaining power to lift as you drive but not enough to lift the bale. With little weight it operates just fine so i don't think it's the seals. There are no leaks and it does drop down when turned off.

Obtain a 3000 psi hyd gage and check the relief valve. The piston seals could be leaking a little.
