Went to load it, bucket felt like it dropped down. Stuck in asphalt, had to lift arm to unstuck it. Now bucket won't curl up or down??

Are we talking about the BX1870 in your profile?

My first thought is pull all 4 quick connects off and re-seat them.

Always start with the simple stuff….

It is. I've looked as closely as I can with the limited understanding I have. I did think to try that, and removed and replaced all hoses. I feel like it's some kind of forced lock position, but I can't find anyone who's run into it.
