Loader weak

[CapnSeahawk]

I have a DK65 with a KL1730 Loader 1300 hours. Runs great with plenty of rear hydraulic power but loader is weak. I added a bobcat quick connect adapter and now my bucket will not hold itself up let alone pick anything up. Goes up and down and then as soon as I let go it starts to drop. I am waiting for a pressure guage to test pressure but regardless will need at a minimum some kind of adjustment? No leaks. Help!!!

Unplug and plug in all of the hydraulic quick disconnects . Might not fix it, but doesn't cost anything to try.

Sounds like your valve you raise and lower your bucket with is leaking. When you release the handle it should go back to the center position. The center valve is leaking.

Or possibly a pressure relief valve is leaking.
