[drumnguy77]

Hello, What could be the problem with the DK45 front bucket? just recently it got to the point there it wouldnt curl all the way after working with it a little.. Any help on this is appreciated.. I already filled the hydraulic fluid to level between the two lines in middle back stick...Thanks!

Does it curl all the way when you first start the tractor?

The way your post is worded, makes it sound as if everything is fine, but after awhile is when the problem occurs???

Have you visually checked to see it anything is physically blocking you. I know on my kubota, when doing a lot of dirt work, sometimes clay or rocks can get lodged between the bucket and lift arm physically stopping the bucket from coming all the way back.

Perhaps some pics of it when it wont go back all the way?

Depending on the material you were loading, there maybe something wedged into one of your pivot points. (stone perhaps)

It wont go back at all.. ive checked points on lifts and theres no rocks or debri stuck to hinder it.. always has worked fine until now.. Thanks for the replys!

Well, we arent going to be able to help you without more clarification and/or pics

Check the QD's for flow. Unscrew the QD off the hose for further testing.

Check the spool ends on the bottom of the valve under the caps. Check spool for full range of motion.

Do what JJ suggests with the tractor turned OFF!

Hydraulic fluid in the lines is under tremendous pressure when the tractor is running, and if hyd fluid gets forced into your skin it is extremely dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.
Always wear gloves when working around hydraulics and if looking for leaks under pressure use cardboard NOT a gloved hand.

Post number of hours on tractor, last hydraulic filter change, etc.

Are there any leaks- you said you just filled the trans fluid to full- how low was it previously?
What are you filling it with?
Have you checked the valve below the right side of the tractor floor which all the hydraulic hoses plug into? Sometimes one of the quick Disconnects will get bumped and disengage but not be completely disconnected. This will affect proper operation of the particular hose's connected piston(s). It's happened to me on several occasions.

Thanks all for your answers and help on this! .. I found a hose to front loader halfway disconnected telling me where the problem is.. I put it back in clip and now the Bucket curls all the way.. Great! The fluid I put in was a Hydraulic fluid that matched the type that goes into and what the manual called for on the DK45.. I got this gallon at NAPA auto.

Make sure you did not bump off one of the quick connects. I've done that before with mine. Check on the right side under the operator station. I bet one of the lines is not seated.
