I have a L3301 with backhoe(BH77). Although it is not an “excavator”, it has what I consider plenty of power. If I am not careful, I can drag the entire machine around while digging. Something is set up wrong. How is the lifting power on FEL?

It seems okay, the FEL that is.
Yeah, I know it’s not going to be like a full sized dedicated backhoe, but come on, you can’t use it to move the tractor while digging or can’t use the bucket to sweep loose dirt back into the ditch, it’s pretty much useless then.
What was strange, it’s only happened once, I had the dipper extended and the bucket uncurled and lowered the boom to reach out further and everything just stopped responding, nothing would work, couldn’t curl, raise, draw in, swing, I thought maybe I had reached a restrictor or something, like it shut fluid off or something, I did something and it began working again, but I can’t remember what I did to make it work again.
Wondering if something got left in the hose or something is restricting the pump?!
I told the field tech and he couldn’t explain why it quit responding like that.
