Loader CT 235 Loader Arms only going half way up.

[OH10]

I was out back clearing brush and as I brought the CT 235 back up by the house I discovered the loader arms will only raise half way up. The hydraulic fluid level is full and there are no leaks, I have an EA wicked single gate grapple attached and it is working fine, so does the tilt or curl function. I checked the loader cylinders and they both look ok. I don't know how else I can trouble shoot the problem. Any ideas?

Belay that last. I did find a leak just now. On one of the hose fittings by the main valve block,

One of your loader hose quick disconnects is unlatched by a branch, so the oil from the cylinder can not return to the tractor. Unhook and rehook them.

Thanks for the reply. I believe you are absolutely right.
