Ive never seen a tractor without down pressure. Are you sure your not pushing lever too far forward and pushing it into float mode

It should have down force. It should lift the front wheels off the ground

Maybe he has a loader with 2 positions (power or height) and sometimes if the loader is in the height position, it’s not well suited for lifting the tractor up because it sacrifices power for lifting height.

No, not in float mode.
With boom arms down you can curl the bucket and lift the front wheels off the ground. I have owned 2 TC30's a 2008 geared and this 2004 HST and both the same way.

TC29D, and I need to curl bucket to lift front tires.

When the boom arms are "down", are the cylinders completely retracted? If so, you just don't have any more travel for that cylinder. If you put a jackstand or railroad tie or some kind of block under the bucket -- then will the FEL lift the front?

I had aTC30 25 years ago with plenty of down pressure. Lots of unanswered questions in your brief posts. How long you owned it, factory or aftermarket, and on and on.
