I developed a leak at the bottom of my MT225s loader valve. Bolts are tight and it leaks when operating the bucket.

I am assuming it is some type of pressure valve. Can anyone tell me what this part pointed out with the arrow is called. I don’t know if there is a gasket I can replace or what.

None of my manuals have a parts breakdown for this.

Happy Thanksgiving !

WOW.....My 2021 MT225S blew 2 o-rings at the TOP of the same valve ( dealer said the nuts were not lock-tighter down)....$500 bucks to send it to the dealer who "fixed" it. However...just last week it blew AGAIN. Now the dealer is going to replace the entire valve. I seem to think it has to do with the "floater" operation.

I wasn’t even thinking about warranty work. I’ll be calling my dealer in the morning.

I didn’t read my work email until today but my dealer replied on Friday. He will be ordering a replacement valve on Monday.

Availability is another matter in these times we are living but I have nothing but great things to say about Barlow Ag in Gettysburg PA!

My MT225S developed the same upper valve leak, just the other day. I was back-dragging some woodchips using the float position. No load on the bucket of note. Just started a steady drip-drip-drip while there was hydraulic pressure in the system.

Mine is leaking from the red circle area and pooling/dripping at the green circle.

My tractor is in for its 50hr inspection. The dealership is telling me everything is complete but they are waiting on a replacement loader control valve. It's already been a month so hoping they get a replacement before snow arrives. Warranty item. Not sure how/why it started leaking? I really haven't put any heavy use on the bucket.

Would you mind posting a few more pictures of the top of your valve? I think you have a new design...the top of my spindle keeps snapping off.
