    Trouble Shooting FEL B2601

    The front loader will not lift any amount of dirt, sand, rock, gravel cement... The bucket will raise, but only when empty. I believe the max pressure on a LA434 is 2000lbs. I don't know what the output was when I purchased the B2601. I'm assuming it was more since the FEL won't lift...

    Trouble Shooting FEL B2601

    Thank you for your response Dan! Started the trouble shooting process with the easy stuff and systematically kept advancing. Didn't learn about the pressure issue until I purchased the gauge. I tested the pressure on the top and bottom (white and yellow) FEL quick connectors.
