Loader Problems

Red Barn Tractors · Apr 13, 2019

Having difficulty with the loader on my 2012 T4-75. Raising the loader is extremely slow in comparison to tilting the bucket in or out. Fluid level is ok, and all hydraulic functions seem fine with the exception of raising the loader. The cable between the joystick and hydraulic valve seems to be good and all lines seem to be good as well. Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions?

Has it always been that way, or is this something new??

Disconnect and reconnect your quick connections on the passenger side...

What are you looking for? An air bubble? A poor connection? Or just something simple worth a try?

I'd also say to take a second look at the cable between joystick and loader valve. Is that cable stranded? If a couple of strands break the rest will start to stretch.

I'm guessing it's not cylinder seals. They usually start to squawk before they change speed much.
