I just got this unit from a neighbor. He does not know much about it so he is no help. It has a freeman loader on it running off the factory hydraulics using the little pump on the right front side of the motor. The loader lifts up and down but does not have down pressure. I have not tryed to lift a bucket of dirt, which I need to try. The pressure line from the pump to the rear tractor hydraulics has a tee with a valve so you can use the loader when closed or the three point when open. The three point lifts slow and the engine rpm has to be half or better.If I stand on the three point it will not lift. I do weigh 230 lb? Could the oil be by passing thru the loader valve, returning to pump? Maybe I need anothr valve on the return side of the ldr valve? Or might my hyd pump be weak?? Sorry to be so long winded!!
