Maybe that tractor has weak hydraulics

New seals recent, checked cylinder pressure, everything is good, but no downward force.

Sure, but just like it can't lift 3000 pounds, maybe it can't lift itself.

Maybe it has a weak pump. Internal leaks. Valve issue.

Bucket curl will lift the tractor

That doesn't make sense if it really is a gravity down system.

Have you put a pressure gauge on the system and check what pressure does it put out when you try to lift the tractor with just the lift cylinder down pressure?

You've heard from a couple of NH owners of similar sized machines. All of ours do not have downforce, aside from bucket curl.

I don't know what kind of system it is, but the boom has no downward force.

I know, and I thank you and the NH owners. I also looked at 3 other NH tractors and they were the same as yours, mine and the other NH owners on here.
