Do you hear any noise when trying to lift?

First thing I would do is disconnect then reconnect the couplers for the loader.

I assume it lifted when you drove to the pickup point?

Does the bucket curl and dump?

I am not familiar with your model, but I check the loader lock out before I check the hoses. Someway somehow I have managed (more than once🙄) to move my loader lock lever unintentionally and it gave me an OF moment. That’s easy to check.

First thing I'd do is make sure the 3-point hitch control lever is in the center (neutral) position...

Well, can't figure it....came out early this morning....walked across the field where the BX was resting....started it up, about 5 min latter I tried the bucket lift....yipe
up no problem, the logs still loaded on. Go figure. Not gonna complain...I'm moving on. Sigh of relief. Gonna do my happy dance with a nice bourbon...relax.

Again...

If you're not aware - the 3PH control does affect the FEL hydraulics. When you use the FEL, the 3PH control needs to be in the central (neutral) position.
