Hi Friends..
First I would like to say "Hello" this is my 1st post on this forum.
Now a little backround with my problem. A couple years ago I bought my tractor, used in near new condition, and I have nothing bad to say about this little machine. I should have broke it several time by now with the work I am doing. I have had popped hydraulic lines on the backhoe but nothing major. This tractor is one tuff tractor. My wife and I purchased some acreage around the same time. The property has lots and I mean lots of Eucaliptus trees. I have been removing them to build our home.
Here is my problem. My loader stalls when dumping. If I have something in it and I go to dump it there is no problem since the weight in the bucket it pulls it down to a certain point until the hydraulics kick in, but if it is empty it stalls until the hydraulic pressure builds up to dump it. I have no problems with rolling it back just dumping. There are no visible hydraulic leaks on the tractor or in the system. It can be frustrating while pushing the handle to dump and having to wait 3 to 5 seconds everytime to fully dump my load. The same issue when I use the bucket to smooth or flaten dirt when backing up. I have to wait until pressure is there or the bucket just flops over the pile I am working. Once pressure is there, there is no loss of pressure. So it seems there is no internal leak, just slop in the system. This issue is only with dumping. Not lifting or lowering or rolling back just dumping.
I really don't know much about hydraulic system. So I am wondering if I could have air in the cylinder causing the slop.
Any sugesstions or comments would be great!!

P.S.
I have done all of the scheduled maintainance up to the 100 hour mark. I just passed the 200 hour mark and need to do the next scheduled maintainance.
