Ford 801 Powermaster hydraulic issues

Hi, my 801 powermaster won't lift its 3 point hitch all the way when it's loaded with my bushhog. The pump is primed, but I was thinking that it may need rebuilt. Does that sound about right for that issue?
 
I would start by checking hyd pressure then go from there. There is a test port under the seat on the flat plate. Simply install a pressure gauge there and see what is going on. Could be as simple as something out OF adjustment or a leaking lift cylinder but with out checking pressure first hard to know which way to go
 
As has been said. Might not be a pump problem, might be a leak problem. If the leak is almost the same volume as the pump, the
load won't lift, etc.

when you are testing the pressure under load, do a visual inspection as well. might have a ton of oil pouring out the mouth of
the cyl...
