M9540 loader question

[Tigershark]

Recently picked up a 2010 Everyting runs good but had a question on the loader, is it normal to have to rev the rpms up in order to lift the bucket up ? It operates as Normal except seems I have to rev it up to get going. It is strong and can lift a good amount of weight just didn’t know if this was A normal thing with the loader ? Coming fro a different brand and different size tractor and that one is very responsive at idle

How many hours on it have you changed hydraulic filters pump sucks off them all equipment is faster when reving up

2100 and it had been recently serviced when I bought it
It doesn't even get to pick up the bucket unless I rev it up but if it is up it will curl, and go down without reving up if it is already raised
Thanks for the reply

Have you checked the small cables running down to the loader valve?

I don't believe so Would it be obvious if someting was wrong ?

I'd think that if revving solves it, that the cables (that only controls the valve) would not be where I'd start looking, but it's very possible that they are stretched limiting the flow.
They might be getting a little sloppy (wobbly joy stick) and iirc they're about $40 each. There's 2 of them.
Depending on the seller, "servicing" could mean only an engine oil change.
There's about $150 in filters and 48?? quarts of juice in the trans/hyd oil change. See if they put any change info on the filters. 500 hours is the change interval.
Do it if you can't verify that it's been done.

They’d be stretched or improperly routed. Kubota uses the old “choke cable” technology from the 1950’s. Cheap and easy to repair.

I really appreciate the advice I will look tomorrow and report back again thank your for the help

Checked the cables they are in good shape no wobbles pretty tight hydraulic filters were changed around 50hrs before I bought it according to the service records

took the cover Off the loader handle and oiled the joystick where it attaches above the cable because it seemed a little tight. After moving it around Back and forth it was smooth again and sure enough it lifts at idle now. Really appreciate everyones help
