2003 5220 Bucket HYDRAULIC Question

First, I apologize if my tractor is too new for this Forum but it seemed like you all would have a lot of knowledge.

I was using my Tractor yesterday and it was working fine. Out of the blue, the bucket stopped articulating. I have unscrewed connections and they all have good flow so it seems there is fluid getting to the pistons. When I put the arms of the tractor down the bucket will rotate to flat on the ground. When I lift it off the ground the bucket droops a bit then sticks. Won't move either way.

If I have explained the situation clearly enough, I'd love some troubleshooting advice. I'm obviously new to the large tractor world.

Thanks for some help.

Welcome to YT
When you state you disconnected connections exactly where did you loosen them? Your tractor scenario sounds as if one or more of the quick disconnects isn't/aren't seated properly. I'll suggest to disconnect/reconnect all quick disconnect couplers then try to dump bucket
 

Hey Jim,

I don't have "Quick Disconnects" unless I am misunderstanding you. I loosened nuts where the rubber hoses go into aluminum Rods and then to Hydraulic Pistons. There was oil under preasure running out at all of them.

Do I make sense?
 

So you're stating your frt end loader has no quick disconnects similar to photo below associated with hyd's. What brand & model is your loader?
