54/64/74/84/85/95 hydraulics Murphy's Law

You know how if there is a single fresh cow chip in a fifty acre field, your two-year-old kid will somehow manage to step in it?

Similarly, if there is a single one-square-millimeter bit of paint, gasket or O-ring in your 10 gallons of hydraulic fluid, it will instantly travel to the orifice in your unloading valve piston and disable your lift.

Hi Teakettle, good to hear you found the problem. I have a friend that but a new compact TBL last year. One of the hydraulic hose connections to the loader had a leak, he called dealer service, they sent a tech to his place and he put teflon tape on the connection. About a week later the loader would barely lift the loader arms off the ground. Sent tech out again, piece of teflon tape blocking one of quick couplers to the loader cylinders.
