JD 2305
I have a 2305 and my loader is stuck all the way down. Can't lift. I've noticed from time to time when in goes into float it has a tendency to get stuck and I can't lift the bucket, but have usually been able to push forward on the float, lower the bucket then it can be lifted. Now I'm really stuck and the bucket will not lift. Is there some way to relieve the pressure or do something? Thanks for any help. As it is now it's an expensive lawn ornament.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting all 4 of your QDs.

Tried unhooking and rehooking the 4 hydraulic lines and it had no effect.

Need more info:

-Fluid Level?
-Does the engine change sound at all? (like it's bogging down when you try to lift?)
-Does the joystick move freely? (Have you ever lubricated the pivot points of the joystick linkage?)

Fluid level checked through rear glass looks fine.
Does sound unusual or if it is bogging down. Nothing is in the FEL and it's lifting nothing.
And the joystick moves freely.
What I've noticed in the past is that when I push the joystick forward to "float" it sometimes is if it gets stuck in the float mode. All the other actions of the joystick/FEL operate. I just can't get it to extend/lift.

Since the tractor is bogging down, Then the valve is sending fluid out toeards the loader...

So the next test is to swap the lift/lower lines for the dump/curl lines at the QD's. I am suspecting a bad QD on the lift hose.

I have the same exact problem with my jd 2305 with the 200cx fel. How did you resolve the problem? Thanks.
