Front end loader will not lift tires off the ground

[Hooked_on_HP]

I think you may have a bad seal in you control valve letting the pressure bleed from the down position to the float position. An easy way to check this would be to switch the hoses at the control valve. Swap the hoses for the raise and lower. After you do this your controls will be backwards. back will be down and forward will be up. Now if it will raise the wheels off the ground but wont lift a full bucket you will know the problem is in the control valve.

If your loader valve has regen, and you go into regen you will not be able to lift the wheels.

Using non-regen mode and you place the bucket flat and then curl the bucket down you should be able to lift wheels.

Me and everybody else has said to take pressure readings.

Pressure is the force that is doing work.

Show us a video of the loader operation.

You say everything else works fine, but what is fine?

Can you cause the relief valve to come on using the loader or the 3pt?

If you have relief pressure, then you have the potential force if the cyl are good .

Are you saying that in the following scenario that you cannot lift the front end of your tractor?

Step one: raise loader until bucket clears the ground, then point bucket edge straight down. Flat lower portion of bucket is now vertical.
Step two: Make sure your feet are off of the brakes and parking brake not set, so the tractor can rotate around the rear axle.
Step three: push control stick forward slowly, the bucket edge should now touch the ground, then continue holding the joystick to continue the downward travel of the bucket. the front wheels of the tractor should come off of the ground.

If wheels do not come off of the ground, then your PRV, pressure relief valve must be set too low, or pump has bypass, etc..
You mention you can lift a full load of material to full height.. What Materieal? Dry leaves and ping pong balls weight somewhat less than say wet sand or iron bars

A pressure test is the only way your are going to know what is wrong. You should be able to lift the front end of your tractor easily. It is a p*** poor test of lift ability. It is very easy to lift your front end, vs lifting a bucket of heavy materiel. So if you say you can lift a bucket of material, but cannot lift your front end off the ground, then that is why we are all puzzled. It doesn't make sense.

Just checked all my pressures at the quick disconnects @ 2,500 rpm
Left curl- 2,600 psi
Right curl- 2,600 psi
Up- 2,600 psi
Down- 2,600 almost 2,700 psi

And you followed my instructions, and you say ???

Yeas also tried bucket vertical no ebrake and in neutral pressed forward slowly down not in float postion still got nothing.

And also a full heavy bucket of dirt or gravel lifts no problem.

That is the way as long as the foot brakes are also off and your brake aren't dragging bad.

Range lever in neutral?
