Hi, The above FEL has suddenly lost lift speed / power.

ive checked other threads suggesting quick couplings, but ive decoupled those and depressed the sprung tips and they all seem free enough. The tractor has only done 30hrs since hydraulic oil filter clean. And help with possible cause or diagnostic path appreciated.

Does the 3pt still work?

Is the directional valve on the hydraulic outlet block in the correct position?

Many thanks. The 3PL appears OK.
The directional valve is set to 3oClock (fully clockwise)
Sub note on this, when the tractor arrived there was only one roll pin in the directional valve which allowed it to turn nearly 360deg. Should the valve operate between 3-7oClock or 7-3oClock?
