I recently got my 3444 hydraulic leaks fixed on the rear end plus changed every o-ring on the hydraulic control under the seat. Hydraulics seem to be running decent now, and the 3 pt now stays up. https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=1397552&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Although the bucket lifts up fine, the engine sputters and works hard to simply curl the buck up or down (empty bucket). If I try and curl the bucket while driving, it nearly stalls out. Keep in mind that this is the first loader that I have ever owned, so I do not know what is normal.
Is there a way I can test to see if this is a problem with power, or if it is a problem in the hydraulics? I just bought this tractor two months ago and was reworking the rear end to stop it from leaking hydraulic fluid, so I have yet to do the normal tune up for an old tractor that was previously stored outside. I still need to change the plugs, wires, distributor cap, points, fuel filter, rebuild carb, etc. So it is possible that this could simply be a power issue in that regard. But I was curious if anyone knew how I could do a test to find if this was a power or governor issue, or if it is a problem in the hydraulics system. This loader has two hydraulic pumps. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks!
