Loader control is hot.

^^^^^^^ IT is correct.

If the 3 point hitch/ mower lift is working correctly then oil is flowing through the loader valve as intended when both valve spools are centered. You do not have loader control relief valve concerns. Hydraulic systems CAN run as much as 100 degrees over ambient temps and are safe to around 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Could it be that the 3PH linkage is out of adjustment causing the pressure to go thru the relief valve? In other words, the 3PH is all the way up but the linkage to its valve is still trying to raise it.

Thanks for all of the input. From what I can tell, it is an open center valve. Without the cylinder connections it looks exactly like the picture. At least on the outside lol.View attachment 659507
