I have a mf 175 with a bush hog qt2400 loader attached. I'm still new to the hydraulic settings on the tractor and I'm having some problems getting the loader to lift (It's real slow and weak) and I don't really know what all of the levers do. I'm having a hard time finding something that explains how the levers work and if there is something special that needs to be done for a loader attachment. I have tried all of the combinations on the controls that I can think of and all i can get it to do is barely lift or not lift at all. Does anyone have any idea what the best setting would be for the hydraulic levers on this tractor or if anyone has any suggestions at all. I'm open to try anything to get this thing going at this point.

I hope someone who knows this better than I do chimes in for you and with better news than mine. If my memory is correct the "1" MF tractors had two types of remote hyd on them. One was factory install which worked good and the other dealer installed which I think was less and performed...less. Have a friend who recently bought one with dealer installed and is so upset with it he is considering selling the rig. If the tractor has rear remotes, do you have to raise the 3 pth to use the remote hyd? If you do then think you will have issues with FEL on that tractor for think the hyd capacity is just not there. NOW I HOPE I AM WRONG FOR YOUR SAKE.
Oh, you have checked the fluid level and changed oil filter? Might try changing the hyd oil with the filter.

If it's plugged into the remotes on the tractor, the remote valve will have to be locked in position to use the FEL. Also ensure your 3pt is down for first test to ensure it's not going into relief. Ensure your transmission/hydraulic oil is full.

Does the loader have it's own valve? If so it may not be compatible with your hydraulics. IIRRC the Massey 175 is Open Center hydraulics. You may have a Closed Center valve?
