I developed a leak at the bottom of my MT225s loader valve. Bolts are tight and it leaks when operating the bucket.

I am assuming it is some type of pressure valve. Can anyone tell me what this part pointed out with the arrow is called. I don’t know if there is a gasket I can replace or what.

None of my manuals have a parts breakdown for this.

Happy Thanksgiving !

WOW.....My 2021 MT225S blew 2 o-rings at the TOP of the same valve ( dealer said the nuts were not lock-tighter down)....$500 bucks to send it to the dealer who "fixed" it. However...just last week it blew AGAIN. Now the dealer is going to replace the entire valve. I seem to think it has to do with the "floater" operation.

I wasn’t even thinking about warranty work. I’ll be calling my dealer in the morning.

I didn’t read my work email until today but my dealer replied on Friday. He will be ordering a replacement valve on Monday.

Availability is another matter in these times we are living but I have nothing but great things to say about Barlow Ag in Gettysburg PA!

My MT225S developed the same upper valve leak, just the other day. I was back-dragging some woodchips using the float position. No load on the bucket of note. Just started a steady drip-drip-drip while there was hydraulic pressure in the system.

Mine is leaking from the red circle area and pooling/dripping at the green circle.

My tractor is in for its 50hr inspection. The dealership is telling me everything is complete but they are waiting on a replacement loader control valve. It's already been a month so hoping they get a replacement before snow arrives. Warranty item. Not sure how/why it started leaking? I really haven't put any heavy use on the bucket.

Would you mind posting a few more pictures of the top of your valve? I think you have a new design...the top of my spindle keeps snapping off.

Interesting my 225 broke the same way with that silly mouse trap,the linkage loads the valve on the side causing the breakage. Mine was replaced under warranty, now just about a year after the replacment fluids poring from the top of the same valve more than likely do to the side pressure applied to the valve when going to the flote position. My dealer apparently had never seen this valve break like this, his story I don't but it. Anyone else?
