My neighbor was using my 2810 mahindra and was pushing stumps with the bucket curled down and now it will not curl up or down , the loader will raise and lower fine and the 3 pt works, The curl cylinders dont look bent , is their anything i can try,

Check the quick disconnects. Disconnect all and connect back again, even if it looks fully connected.

It's quite common for brush to hit the collar enough to disconnect even though it may look fully seated.

Yup...check couplers.

Also educate your neighbor on proper loader use

Yeah, if he was pushing stuff around with the bucket fully dumped this could have come back a lot worse.

So when you do try to curl the bucket.. does the engine bog a little like you're maxing out the hydraulics, or does it just show no change to anything, not even engine sound?

If the cylinders aren’t bent you dodged a bullet. Tractor loaders aren’t meant for pushing stumps and definitely not with the bucket rolled down.

Not much risk of bending cylinders by pushing with it dumped. That's a concern back dragging.

We have been friends for 50 yrs or i would have been really ticked off, i am going hunting in the morning so wont be able to do anything till sunday, The engine does bog a little And the bucket acts like it is trying to move, and the hydraulics sound like there is movement in the lines , It almost acts like it is stuck, I will try undoing the couplers on sunday.

Before you do it, release all the pressure with the engine off and just move the joystick in all directions.

You can still pull piston rod bolts off, bust the gland out of the cylinder and stretch the pin holes. And any operator treating the loader like that probably didn’t limit it to one direction.
