Happy Friday, all.
Last fall I bought a 2005 NH TL90 with a 52LB loader using joystick control. I used the tractor brush hogging for several hours this fall with the attachment plate off the front of the loader (long story). During that time the loader boom seemingly worked normally. I'm not sure of the last time I had it at full height was, but it was after the attachment plate was removed - hasn't been that long. Last weekend I remounted the attachment plate on the loader. While doing so, I found the pistons that rotate the bucket were slightly out of sync. To mount the plate I had to attach one piston, then move it from half contraction to near full contraction in order to get the other piston to line up.
I found in short order that rotation of the bucket is fine, but I can't raise the loader up above the level of the hood... less than half it's normal lift height. When it gets to that point, the tractor is put under load just as if you were at the max lift position, or as if one of the remotes were activated with nothing attached to them. It makes no difference if the bucket is rotated to any angle. The hydro oil is at normal level and the remote levers are in the center "off" position. I currently have nothing attached to the other remotes. The rear lift seems fine, it will still lift the brush hog all the way up. The "draft" lever should have no effect on the loader, but I've tried the loader with that lever in several positions also. It also made no difference if the tractor was cold or at operating temp.
I'm at a loss and so are a couple of friends that have newer and older versions of 90hp NH's with loaders. They've never ran into the issue.
Any thoughts???
