I have a pto wood chipper that I want to run off my F450. The chipper weighs about 900 pounds and the center of gravity is 6 ft from the center of the rear axle. I cannot get the chipper raised. Without the chipper attached, I can raise the hitch an additional 6 inches. (See photos) It has power steering and turning the front wheels full in either direction does not change the ability to lift.
I have been in to the system previously, had some problems but all seemed to be operating well, although I had not loaded the fast hitch until now.

So my question - am I looking at an issue with the priority/safety valve?
