No I don't know. Yes I have all the hyd. needed just don't know how to do.
Are you talking down pressure on the loader or the 3pt?
If you are talking about 3pt, you will have no down pressure unless you have a TIP cyl, as in T-N-T.
If you are talking about loader, depending on bucket, with the lift arms all the way down, that might be ground level. Using a taller bucket and where the pins are located the bucket determines if you can get down pressure. Try putting a 4 x 4 under the bucket and applying down pressure.

How does that work? I need some down pressure on my 3pt when I do our road.
I have down pressure 3 point on my Belarus. It has a cylinder over top of the 3 point arms that pushes down when a lever is pulled back. The belarus does not have that "long stroke lever" for lift where it holds it in one place, whatever that's called. It has like a 3 or 4 position spool valve. 2nd or 3rd click back is down pressure. The clicks are so close I often get that woohoo feeling when I wasn't planning to hit down and it shoots me up in the air from behind. That cylinder could be what lifts up too. Not sure.
Yes, talking about the loader. Ok, I'll try that.
If the lift arms on your loader is at the mechanical stops, that is your limit for that bucket. Then the only way to lift the front end is to tilt the bucket down.
Which one of your tractors will lift that load?
JJ, btw, do you know if my hydraulics would run the mast from an old clark indoor forklift? I've thought about doing that for years. I thought about putting wheels at the base of the mast and mounting it to a 3 point.
