Hi all. Well, I still have the tractor. Had a few more things go wrong. So far the dealer has fixed everything but the front loader issiue. I can move the bucket by hand, in the dump postion, about an inch or so, by picking it up. I don't believe Hydraulic Cylinders shoud move at all, unless you move the control. New Hollond told me to turn up the RPMs over 2000. You should be able to idle the unit and not move the cylinders. I have an open case with New Holland. I finally talked with there area rep after many phone calls to New Holland. I still had to call my dealer and he called the rep again. He is going to get somebody from tech support at New Holland to call me. Let's see how long this takes.

Well it sounds like they are working on it, you can have problems with and color or manufacturer I know that doesn't make you feel any better. It find of sounds like there is a huge air bubble in there, probabley isn't that easy though, if I am not mistaken that loader is made by Amerequip not ford.
Hi. Well a year has gone by and still having issues with Tractor. New Holland has finally said they will not take the tractor back. The current problem is still with the loader. The dealer has repacked the cylinders and changed out the control pump. Now it works better at higher RPM but is worse at lower RPM. You lower the bucket to the ground and it pushes the hydraulic cylinders back in. So the bucket is not fixed. Am I wrong about hydraulic cylinders? They should not move when the tractor is running. No mater what the RPM. Is this wrong? Is their a Hydraulic Engineer out there that can explain this to me? Now what do I do? The dealer has no more answers for me. So it seems pointless to continue to have them come out for something they cant fix. They even told me they have other owners complaining about the same thing. My final thoughts are: DO NOT BUY A NEW HOLLAND BOMMER 40 TRACTOR OR LOADER OR BACKHOE!!

I am not sure I understand the whole problem but if you are talking about the dump cylinders getting push back in when you lower the loader then no they shouldn't push back in. That sounds like it is leaking through the valve body to me. Not that I am any kind of expert on hydraulics by any means, but the valve seems like the week point to me. If the bucket is tilted down and you lower it and put pressure down the bucket should stay tilted and you should be able to lift the tractor off of the ground!

Check out this thread and let us know if this is the problem you're experiencing. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/new-holland-owning-operating/289714-loader-control-problem.html. My tractor is Shibaura built and I believe yours is LS built, but the same basics apply.

Yea your right about the tractor manufacturers but the loaders should be made by the same place. From what I have found they are made by ameriquip here is there website check the customers list NH is there, now that doesn't mean they supply all of NH loaders but they could.

I have a Boomer 35, have had it for about 17 months and have a little over 350 hrs on it. ZERO issues that haven't been cause by us. The seat was just replaced, though nothing was wrong with the one that was on it, what was falling apart on yours? I was told that the foam on some broke down. Some of the fittings have leaked over time, but I just tighten them, I consider that routine maintenance, along with replacing lines that got broken from getting caught on logs and such..
I'm not sue I follow the issue on the FEL. Are you saying that if you lower the bucket all the way to the ground and try to lift the tractor off the ground it won't lift it? Or it does lift it but it will not hold it's self up? With the engine running or engine off? Mine holds pressure either way and works fine at low RPM's but is of course much more powerful at higher RPM's.

Slider, by the OP's description, I haven't been able to tell if he's talking about the lift arm or curl function. Either way, it sounds like its a spool or quick disconnect problem to me. If you read the thread I posted a link to in my previous post, its just a matter of tracking it down.
