Yup had the Same problem. Bought a pressure gauge for the hydraulics and it was only reading 1700 psi. So I beefed it up to 2250psi by adding washers to the loader valve behind the rear right wheel.

where is fitting for pressure guage & what did you use to shim relief valve
Disconnect the loader hydraulics put the pressure gauge on one of those fittings depending which one move the loader lever and read the pressure gauge. The shims I bought from kubota 50 cents each I think. Mine took 4 to bring it up
