2018 BX23S FEL won't raise. I was woking the tractor pretty hard cleaning up the edge of a lake. Moving mud and pushing brush with the grapple. Was also using the float function if that matters. After about and hour or so of work the FEL just stopped working.
I searched for similar issues and found this which is pretty similar to my issue. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/solved-bx23s-fel-lift-stopped-working.64124/
I have narrowed it down to the fluid returning to the tank. I removed the fluid return line (white line) for the FEL at the 4 way quick connector. Fluid will flow without issue and the FEL will raise. Reconnect the line and the FEL will not move. All the other hydraulic functions work fine. Bucket curl, MMM, 3pt hitch all work. Also checked the connections at the spool and everything is moving as it should.
I'm perplexed at this point so any help is appreciated.
