Kioti KL102 FEL won't lift after 30 minutes of operation

[dlpritts]

I have recently encountered a problem with my FEL on my lb1914. After using it to move material for about 30 minutes it slowly loses lifting power until it will barely lift the empty bucket. Running up the RPMs on the tractor helps some but not for long. There have been no changes in the hydraulic system between the time the FEL was working fine and the start of this problem. The fluid level is OK, the filter is fresh, and no leaks around the controls, hoses, or cylinders.

Anyone know what could be causing this problem? Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

check your pressures at the FEL.
