I can't lift mine that way either. As Egon said, they can only retract so far.Just an update. I guess my new loader must not be power down. I swapped quick connects no changes. I can lift the front of the tractor with the dump and curl functions but not with straight down. Guess I will just use the curl or dump if I get stuck.
Curled down first then lowered the loader, lifted the front. :thumbsup:Look at your cylinders. If they are retracted that is all the lift you can get.
Curl the bucket down, then try and lift the front.
