Thanks for the pressure rating, i must have worded the question wrong what i am wanting to know is where is the actuall valve at so i can adjust it, to see if it makes a difference in loader performance. The way the loader is now i am very dissappointed with it, love the tractor but hate the loader.
The loader just seems really under powered has hard time lifting normal items, that i feel that it should lift. The old ford 1320 that i had with 800lbs lift cap. would lift more than the MF will and it is rated at 1900lbs. Yes the dealer has looked at it and checked the pressure and everything checked out O.K.

Ryan,
Sorry, I read your post wrong.
What are you trying to lift?
Sorry, I read your post wrong.
What are you trying to lift?
With the pallet forks it will barely lift an 800lb round bale, or a 4' x 5' x 3' box of fire wood, or with the bucket it won't lift the bucket out of the dirt pile when you are still pushing into the pile, you have to stop backup a little and rev the tractor up and it will barly lift it out, it don't even sound like it's trying. It just seems like the relief valve popping to soon, because the pump or tractor don't labor or anything it just sits there. when you try to pick up something on the 3-point that it won't lift you can hear the pump and engine labor, but with the loader you don't hear anything
Are you running at rated speed (2600 RPM)? Many times I have seen people run tractors at much lower RPM's than rated and it will cause what you are saying. When you are digging in a dirt pile you also need to curl the bucket before you raise it. You need to do the same with your pallet forks. The further you get the load out in front, the lower your capacity will be. Just some suggestions.
