Front loader won't lift tractor

Re: Front loader won\'t lift tractor

B7500 has a good and simple suggestion. Make sure your 3-pt. is in neutral. I know on mine if my lever is up too far it uses up some hydraulic pressure. This may be a very simple fix for you. I hope that's what it is. How many hour's on your machine?

I am sure someone in this forum will have an answer for you soon but it wouldn't hurt to call your local dealer too.

Good luck to you.

Re: Front loader won\'t lift tractor

Just to add to what Milkman said in relation to the tires being able to roll forward... If your tractor is HST and is in Low range, try putting it in high range or neutral, my BX 2200 can barely get the front off the ground with it in Low unless I give it a little "goose" forward with the hydro pedal. Put it in High or neutral and it work like a charm with out the "goose".

Yes, I always keep the 3-pt in neutral when not using it. The tractor is an 00' model w/916 hrs & GST transmission. Calling a local dealer is next on my list.
I've received a wealth of information here!
Thanks,

I'll be happy to pass along any remedy if you will also! First thing will be to change the hydraulic filter this weekend.

One other thing, I noticed that on my tractor, as it got older, the FEL was less able to lift the front end if the engine was just at idle. Knocking the revs up a notch or two made it a lot easier. Worth a try if you haven't done it already.

Re: Front loader won\'t lift tractor

just a quick note, I changed the filter and noticed it looked "milky" I'm going to drain the tranny and hope this helps. I sure am tired of buying new hoses. Is it normall to replace all the hoses? I'm just about there!

Drive the tractor, or jack it up put a 2x or 4x and then use your bucket to lift...

Checked your hydro fluid?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( when I changed the hydro fluid and filter to aftermarket, the loader and the hydro was not as strong as with the original filter and fluid, changed back to the super UDT and Kubota filter, works normal again. )</font>

Sounds like a good reason to stick with O E M !

Gilmo:
It’s normal to change bad hoses… you didn’t fill out your hours in your bio so have no idea as to age… you don’t need to change hydraulic hoses like you change fire hoses… but if you are changing weathered hoses that have been breaking, it is likely the rest of them are also equally bad… unless you changed some that were snagged or otherwise abraded.
