New seals recent, checked cylinder pressure, everything is good, but no downward force.

Sure, but just like it can't lift 3000 pounds, maybe it can't lift itself.

Maybe it has a weak pump. Internal leaks. Valve issue.

Bucket curl will lift the tractor

That doesn't make sense if it really is a gravity down system.

Have you put a pressure gauge on the system and check what pressure does it put out when you try to lift the tractor with just the lift cylinder down pressure?

You've heard from a couple of NH owners of similar sized machines. All of ours do not have downforce, aside from bucket curl.

I don't know what kind of system it is, but the boom has no downward force.

I know, and I thank you and the NH owners. I also looked at 3 other NH tractors and they were the same as yours, mine and the other NH owners on here.
