Kubota LA1335 loader......weak?

[bswiv]

Using it yesterday when I noticed that it all of a sudden quit going all the way up? It'd go about 1/3 of the way and then act as if it had hit a stop?

Same thing going down, pushed to the ground and then only a couple of more inches?

And obvious things to look at?

Plenty of fluid, no leaks, seems to be strong within the range it will move. Actually filled a bucket with dirt on the way back and noticed no problems. Bucket was FULL.....carried it a full mile with no slippage of the hydraulics.

Really confused.

This is on a M8540.......

Check that your 3pt is halfway up.

The 3 point seems to be working fine? Explain more to me?

Try this: It doesn't cost anything, and doesn't take much time. Shut off the tractor and uncouple and re-couple all of your Quick disconnects on your loader, making sure all are seated firmly. Fire it up and see if the loader seems to work correctly now.

Will go give that a try in just a few minutes.......

And this too:

The same fluid reservoir serves as transmission fluid and as gear oil with the only difference being that there is a separate pump for the front end and for the back end and for the flow to the transmission?

A couple of days after I got my L3901 I went to use my loader and had the same issue, then I noticed that my 3pt was all the way up, when I lowered it a little the loader worked perfect. I dunno?

Tried it.....no change.

Hope the yellow flies are no as MISERABLE down your way as they are here. Had to do the "Tanglefoot" thing to the tractor last week to make it tolerable.
