Ford 730 fel

Isssue: lift arms, and bucket "tilt"work perfectly, bucket curl has no power at all.. it only works if rpms are extremely high and only then it will move but no power, take 10 seconds to get it back to fully curled. I have swapped the bucket lines and it does the same but opposite, won't tilt down but curls fine. Filter has been changed and fluid level is at 8in from top. Spools seem to be traveling fully. I took the whole valve assembly apart and Orings and components appear to be in great shape. I am at my wits end. Please help

Same set up as this, plus the self leveling selector.

Check for bad coupler.

Check for bad coupler.

I do not have any quick connects and I have also checked all connections. Good thing about swapping the lines is you basically check to see if they are clear

anyone else?

The line swapping you should have done would be to move the bucket lines to the lift arm spool.

In that way you are testing the bucket spool.
